You have good insticts -- I could certainly be wrong; but, seeing her, in the 
'before' videos (just from the past couple of years) I really think she has 
that "ummphh", that 'something special' that is hard to describe.  

Obama has it too.  I see a lot of the same kind of appeal in the two of them 
(ceratnly their politics are diiferent).

I can't see her on Fox; but, then, I don't like 'talking head' shows.  I 
don't like it when people raise their voices.  

I watch Lou Dobbs occasionally,he and his guests always are civil , and 
usually even use humor, even when they vehemently disagree.  I like humor.

 and on Fox, I do like Brit Hume.  I think Hume is the smartest, all around 
newsman since david brinkley.  But, hume has cut back his hours, he might 
retire soon.  I never watch any other 'talking head ' type shows unless they 
have a big guest.

I listen to the tv from another room.  I rarely ever actually 'watch' the 
thing unless the wife wants to watch something together.

Anyway, I don't like the way the press has attacked the woman.. She has only 
been on the national scene for what --eight weeeks?

  They treat her like she is something to be hated and mocked just for being 
a little different; and then wonder  and 'report' on why others do the same 
thing to Obama; at least he has the press in his pocket.

I think we can agree on one thing, maybe?  There's not a lot of visible 
talent in the republican party, except for , maybe, her ? ....bobford
