during the last elections.

She, like NPR, has a knack for making sublte snarky comments.

I stopped listening to her...and I stopped listening to the likes of Steve Inskeep, Michelle Norris and Cokie Roberts.

Keep us posted folks about if she rolls over for Mittens.

Letting Mitt spout talking points while she nods, a nice cup of tea and a back rub... and perhaps a pony as a parting gift. THAT'S more Ms. Ifill's "interview" style.

My preference would be Ray Suarez. He really does his homework and gets right to the point!
