1. I'm torn between her,Colbert, and Hartmann. Though a lot of the other choices are good as well.

Quick, someone sway me.

2. No, I won't. We need a woman's voice in all of this. Join the party!!!

[Lucinda]

3. Rachel educates - clear and concise

making it easy to understand the stakes. Colbert is amazing - but he's more insider humor to me.

5. Good point on Colbert.

It's really between Rachel and Thom. Its really hard to choice because I learn so much from both of them, its just Thom was the first mainstream progressive I heard, I didn't get MSNBC till a few months ago.

[Lucinda]

7. I don't have cable, but catch them on video

I'm really partial to Rachel. She is fearless, and often out front talking about things before the others pick it up. I can see the dilemma with Thom though. Nice choice to have!

8. I was a Rachel follower on her XM radio days - first she was

on at night, then in the morning,,,,or was it vice-versa....anyways....I LOVE HER.

9. I used to catch the tail end of her radio show on my way to the gym back in 05.

I felt she sounded a bit strained on the radio. TV is a far better medium for her, IMO. She just seems more welcoming on TV. On the radio, I felt a bit estranged from her...

4. Maddow was #1 for me in that Alternet poll. nt

6. She certainly is as far as I'm concerned.

If I had teachers of her quality I might have actually learned something in school..

10. She is amazing. Clear, concise and cogent in a way Olbermann never was.

And just as passionate, without all his histrionics.

[Logical]

11. Keith is much better than her, he had way more passion!

[reformist2]

12. He was passionate, but rambling and hard to follow.

[Wounded Bear]

13. And a worthy choice it is...

She's good, no great.
