From what I recall, Cokie was a smart lady a good speaker.
She always dressed well.
She was Old School Democrat, pleasant, and able to discuss without seeking to destroy her opponent . The kind of Democrat that I was raised listening to on 60 Minutes type programs. I always got the impression that she enjoyed every minute on the air speaking her mind about the news of the day. She was a News Hound, like most of us here.
I was in a flight with her once. Didnt speak to her and she was in first class. What struck me was how tiny she was. Maybe 5 1. If she cracked 100 pounds she just barely cracked it. Nervous affect, but maybe being among the plebes was offputting
