1. Pope Francis so this forum can go into complete 'meltdown'... ;) eom

[gateley]

2. I voted for Ezra (happy to see him on the list) but cancelled for Other -- Eliot Spitzer.

[LancetChick]

6. Ha, I also just canceled to pick "other".

Eliot Spitzer would be my first choice too. Second choice would be Chris Hayes.

[Tx4obama]

10. Oh Spitzer would be a good choice. I wish the DU polls had more than 10 slots :( n/t

[gateley]

12. That's what the Other is for! :-)

[Sedona]

3. John Fugelsang

[gateley]

9. I'd LOVE for him to have a show!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

4. Joy Ann Reid

She's brilliant.

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. + A million!!! She got my vote too.

[ailsagirl]

27. She's great-- but is she too busy, being editor of theGrio?

She's smart as a whip and has a gorgeous smile-- I'd love to see her with her own show.

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. I think this is an opportunity that she wouldn't pass up lightly. She's got Perry Bacon, and

Professor Peterson over at The Grio, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to pick up any slack, and it would certainly raise the profile of The Grio.

[ailsagirl]

35. Good points

Who knows? Either she or Martin would be marvelous!

[choie]

5. Sam Seder!!!

N/T

[gtar100]

32. Ring of Fire... Mike, Bobby, and Sam. A great team!

But of course Sam on his own would be awesome.

[Rosco T.]

7. Two person show, Alex Wagner and Tamron Hall n/m

[JaneyVee]

8. Joy Reid.

[Nancy Waterman]

11. Alex Wagner

Or maybe Eliot Spitzer

Oh yes, or Joy Ann Reid. Hadn't thought of her but she would be awesome!!

[HarveyDarkey]

14. Second Alex

[Rowdyboy]

13. Melissa Harris Perry.....hands down

[Tx4obama]

15. Good one! :) n/t

[AsahinaKimi]

18. she would have my vote

for sure.

[Rowdyboy]

19. She really is awesome. She's funny, over the top intelligent, and has a wonderful ability to brush

aside bullshit and get to the meat of a question like almost no one else I know. She's my favorite contemporary journalist (a tie with Rachel Maddow).

[AsahinaKimi]

20. She was the first

TV journalist I followed on Twitter..

[bluedigger]

23. Not happening.

At least not as long as she is full time faculty at Tulane.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. Melissa would be my 2nd choice, right behind Joy Ann. Both are brilliant!

[Tx4obama]

16. I just now noticed that...

There are five females and four males on the poll list.
(And there wasn't even enough room on the list for Mellisa Harris Perry and Alex Wagner)

I did not notice that we have so many females to pick from when I set the poll up, the names where just some that folks had mentioned on another thread.

Isn't it amazing how far we've come since the days when Barbara Walters was the only female anchor on TV

[Rowdyboy]

17. I have an old thread in another forum where I celebrate the fact that my dentist, doctor and priest

all three are women. The world is changing whether the right wing likes it or not. Women are truly, slowly coming into their own. Thank God(dess)!

[liberal_at_heart]

21. Someone on another thread suggested Ron Reagan. I like that choice.

[MoonchildCA]

22. I was going to suggest Ron Reagan as well.

I really like him and used to enjoy his radio show when it was broadcast in my area. I also like Thom Hartmann, though he's not really affiliated with MSNBC.

Alex Wagner is great, but I like to watch her morning show.

[AzDar]

26. Would love KO to come back to MSNBC, but fear he's burned too many bridges...

Absent that, Martin Bashir kicks ALL kinds of ass.

[ailsagirl]

30. I'm with you

Bashir is fantastic!! Apart from everything else, he has a delicious sense of humor!!

[xxqqqzme]

29. Martin Bashir

Because he deserves a better time slot than 1:00 pm PST.

[mwrguy]

31. Michael Moore

He hasn't had a show in a long time.

[jambo101]

33. Like to see Ron Reagan in a one hour time slot.

[renate]

34. I wish Chris Hayes weren't only on on weekends, but...

... Martin Bashir really is a hoot. So snarky and funny. He would be appealing to a lot of people, I think. He's certainly underappreciated by being on at 1 pm Pacific Time, that is for sure.

So, after first thinking that Chris would be the best choice (and he would indeed be FREAKING AWESOME) it might be fun to see Martin in that slot. But I would love to see Chris there, too....

[Scuba]

36. Barney Frank

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

37. no one from The Cycle

the worst show on MSNBC
