I could not agree more.
Good luck to Robinson and to the Oregonians, most deserve to be rid of the Dem. politicians from the Portland area, who pollute life for all of Oregon.
Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

I thought he was very well spoken, calm, cool and collected. There may be hope for Oregon after all.

I agree with you, Maddow was after key things. He still looked like a nut.

I don't care for it either but interviewers like O'Reilly and to a lesser extent Cavuto, can't allow the person being interviewed to ramble on. Rambling on is a tactic that they will use to waste time w/o answering the question. There is a limited time to these interviews and if you don't cut them off to get them back on track or to ask another question, these guys will just spout off their talking points without stopping. They really have no interest in answering tough questions. Well the problem is when they ask a question that where they already anticipate the answer, then cut them off and challenge them before they can answer. Most of the time I can anticipate it also, but you have to let them go on record before you challenge their opinion. O�Reilly, Hannity, Beck and most of the rest are worth watching-but they don�t do interviews-they do debates with their guests. They all make sure that their own point of view gets fully vented along with that of their guest. A good interviewer tries as much as possible to remain neutral and nonpartisan. Sometimes they fail but if at the end, you are not sure where the interviewer stands they have done their job. Sometimes-often debates are more interesting-more lively than straight interviews. Tonight I saw Greta do it 4 times. With Joe Miller and Lisa Murkowski and Christine O'Donnell she came at them from the Left. And with Scott McAdams she switched sides and came at him from the Right. They say Greta is a Democrat-don�t know if Scott McAdams thinks so. This was the first time I have even seen Scott McAdams on Fox. Did not agree with what he was saying, but glad he finally got to give his side on the �Fair and Balanced� Fox News. Hannity does not do interviews, he throws softballs for the GOP and provides a fundraising events.

Hannity and Maddow's shows aren't that different, its just that I happen to agree with Hannity's point of view most of the time. I like to see him give softball interviews to conservatives and rip into liberals. That's why I watch the show. I am not looking for a balanced debate. I am already familiar with the political issues and I don't need to have them framed for me. The closest thing you're going to get to a "fair" interview is O'Reilly or Cavuto. The reason that libs hate those two is not because they take cheap shots, which they don't, but because they ask tough questions that libs just don't want to answer, and they keep hammering away at them until they do.
That is why I can't figure out why any conservatives appear on Maddow's show. Her rating are terrible and only leftwing moonbats watch her show. I would say the same thing for libs that go on Hannity, except that Hannity's ratings are about 10x as high. So in that case, for a lib, maybe the publicity is worth the abuse.

We know the agenda on Madows show, but that can't discount that the good scientist was an utter flake. Mix two nuts together.....and nuts is what yer gonna get.

Good point. Both have the ability to take cheep shots. Why did he go on knowing the shots that Maddow would take?
The problem with lots of Tea Party candidates are coming across as fringe nut jobs and this makes the legit ones look bad as well.
Examples of what i call fringe Nut jobs include.
Miller-Alaska Serious Hypocritical errors
Paladino-New York Porn, Anti Gay and family issues.
Delaware-O'Donnell I am not a Which, Professional candidate, no job for 10+ years and her China conspiracy.
These are the glaring examples of how the Tea Party has pulled up the bottom of the bucket. Few if any conservative will openly say that these candidates are the best that they can do and if they get elected how does the GOP expect to work with these fringe candidates?
Lots of scary folks have tossed a tea bag on their heads and entered politics. Maybe this is what we need to bring all of us back to something that looks like sanity?

I'd take a self proclaimed witch these days over the likes of Nancy Pelosi who's a witch of the highest order yet tries to deny it.
keep voting for the folks that have bankrupted your country Walt, I reckon you feel it's the patriotic thing to do.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

I would say the same thing for libs that go on Hannity, except that Hannity's ratings are about 10x as high. So in that case, for a lib, maybe the publicity is worth the abuse. I agree with you about the two shows. One is left and one is right and the viewer knows that going in. So they are all preaching to the choir. And I watch and enjoy my share of it. But I still say that O'Reilly, Hannity, Cavuto, Laura Ingraham, Beck and the others are debating not interviewing their guests/victims. Laura Ingraham does great debates until she disagrees with her guest-loses it-and her very quick mind launches into a nonstop tirade. Her poor target is lucky to get in a �Yeah but� once in awhile. At least Laura will apologize sometimes after she cools down. Big Bad Bill will leave out the cool down and apologizing part. And he does it so much. Beck really is a preacher and a darn good one. Hannity�s questions always seems to state his position and then ask his guest to respond. Good way to get your talking points in. Megyn Kelly asks tough and smart questions, but again, you always know which side she is on. She is ready for prime time. Greta sometimes makes me think that she really is a Left wing Democrat, but with her next guest she sounds like a Right winger. That is interviewing not debating your guest and it is not near as much fun. But you can learn a lot when you aren�t regurgitating the same-o same-o.
