Is Linda Douglas going to be Obama's Press Secretary?

[speedoo]

She is a very effective and impressive spokesperson.

1. I want Rachel Maddow.

[speedoo]

8. Rachel's great, but her brains would be a little underused in that job.

I'd like to see Rachel in a policy position. I've forgotten her education credentials, etc. but she is so smart, etc. she could be very good in the Obama administration, somewhere.

9. (shrug) It's a lot tougher than being a talk-show personality.

13. I want to leave Rachel where she is

on Air America and MSNBC. Far more effective there.

[MadBadger]

2. I think she should be the press secretary, and Robert Gibbs should be communications director.

[SharonRB]

3. She'd be really good at it.

Chris Kofinis would be good, too. He does an excellent job when he's on KO.

[speedoo]

6. Is he the younger guy? Dark hair, cut short?

[SharonRB]

10. No. He's kind of heavyset, roundish face, dark hair

Former Edwards communications director.

[speedoo]

16. Ok, Yes he's very good also.

But he's not affiliated with Obama's campaign, which means he does not have as good a shot as people in the campaign, I would assume.

4. I would approve

I recall her being an anchor/reporter in LA when I was a kid. Wonder how she evolved into a top aide. Being a media pro helps alot I imagine.

[ClarkUSA]

5. I hope so.

She was a very well-respected reporter before her current incarnation.

7. Linda is superb.

14. She's an award-winning reporter

She worked for several years in the L.A. television news scene. I believe she was on local L.A. station KNBC back in the 1980s.

11. She was really good just now.

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. Linda is 60..... I couldn't believe it when I saw that

I find her intelligent, articulate and very attractive.

[speedoo]

18. Wow, I would have guessed 45 or so. nt

[JimGinPA]

15. I Met Her A Couple Weeks Ago...

She is very personable & intelligent.

[TwilightGardener]

17. I hope so, I like her. She's very professional, always comes off well.

19. Picture of Linda Douglas HERE!!

I had to look up the picture to know who it was and I agree. She is the sharpest Obama spokesperson I've seen on TV. She'd be a great press secretary. She does an amazing job, everytime.
