I kind of like listening to Republican Steve Schmidt

He reminds me of the Republicans I knew when I was growing up and Republicans were mostly sane.

I agree; he is good/rational. elleng Jan 2012 #1

Why is He a Republican, let alone a campaign manager? Riverman Jan 2012 #2

I've thought the same thing. He's sensible, even-handed, fair, and advocates for his side... northoftheborder Jan 2012 #3

Just said the same thing to my partner. He has a sister who is gay and he openly supports gay rights. He is reasonable sounding and I like seeing him on MSNBC. Why doesn't he support people who are advocates for who he actually seems to be - a good guy who seems to be rather working class. Come on, Steve, wake up and smell the coffee. The democrats needs smart strategist like you.
