“There’s a reason people in opinion-driven news flirt with running for office,” liberal host Rachel Maddow told a Harvard University audience last night. “It gets a ratings spike.”

And apparently it's the same reason a university would invite a vapid maven to speak at their institution.

Only in Boston (or maybe NY or San Francisco) where political psychosis is the norm could this be taken seriously. What’s next Mark Moreford quitting his job in the fudge factory and running?

The last few threads I’ve seen relating to Scott Brown would indicate FR’s default position might be to support Maddow. Scott is a rino you know. So he’s got to go !

A perfect 100% conservative, or none at all. Right?

When asked how she would finance a run for senate, Maddow shrugged her shoulders and admitted she didn’t know... “how am I gonna pay for this, with my good looks?” </sarc>

A better title for this thread would be, “Maddow decides to leave comedy to Jon Stewart.”

Maddow probably is quite popular in Northampton, MA. (For those unfamiliar with the town, it’s sort of a theme park for lesbians).
