Michelle Bernard, MSNBC Political Analyst

[fadedrose]

I think she would make an awesome Press Secretary.

Knows how to express herself, speaks eloquently, and is a knockout to look at. She was just on and I was busy, but had to turn my head to see what her name was. Have seen her before, but never learned her name.

[ErinBerin84]

1. yikes.....thanks, but no thanks.

[Lumpsum]

10. Agreed.

She's terribly annoying.

[elkston]

2. One problem: She has a questionable allegiance to the Democrats

But yeah, she's hot.

[Perky]

3. Ugh

I would prefer what=herface. The blonde Obama Spinner who was on MSNBC most nights.

[MadBadger]

5. Stephanie Cutter?

[Beaverhausen]

11. I thought of her but she is Michelle O's chief of staff and will probably stay there

but she is great!

[MadBadger]

15. I want Linda Douglass

[FrenchieCat]

23. Me too. I think that is who it will be....Linda Douglass.

She's classy, dignified, highly intelligent and honest and reporters respect her. She would be an excellent choice.

[MadBadger]

24. Gibbs should be Communications Director and Burton his Deputy

[SuperTrouper]

30. Yes

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

45. Ugh...I'd take Michelle. That blond lady isn't very good imo...

[ericgtr]

4. She reminds me of that girl on the Cosby show that would talk really fast all the time

She's just too goddamned hyper.

[AndreaCG]

6. Isn't she a Republican?

[MadBadger]

9. She's a Conservative who was torn between race and gender

She supported Obama up until Sarah Palin was named VP, and then she was sooo impressed with her.

[NYCGirl]

7. I'd rather we have a Democrat in that spot. NT

[Wheezy]

8. I think Rachel Maddow would be great for that post.

[happychatter]

13. amen NT

[happychatter]

12. I think this job would be very therapeutic for Rachel Maddow

I'd love to see her every morning... crisp, business like, beautiful, and gay as they come

I head this idea on DU and I'm completely enamored of it

Michelle Bernard is practically a Milt Friedman conservative

[AlCzervik]

14. Eeeeekkkk please no. Robert Gibbs would be my pick.

[Perky]

18. I think he is a lock

[AlCzervik]

19. He is awesome, i totally love that guy.

[Perky]

41. OOpe

[political_Dem]

16. No thank you.

She's a rightie disguising herself as an independent.

[billyoc]

17. No

[EV_Ares]

20. No way, hell she has been against Obama from the beginning. eom.

[maddezmom]

21. I'd love to see Gibbs get that position

He'd be perfect.

[MadBadger]

27. Gibbs for Communications Director

[crazy_vanilla]

22. she has always struck me as a right-winger nt

[truebrit71]

25. I think Linda Whats-her-name the spokesperson for Obama is on the short list I think..

...she used to be on KNBC in LA...Linda Douglas I think?

She certainly was impressive when on MSNBC after one of the debates...

[BeyondGeography]

26. She's a Pub, and Press Secretary is not where you want to reach across the aisle

[Max_powers94]

28. I love her legs but NOOOOOOOO!!

[ShortnFiery]

29. No, she's way conservative for my tastes. Something is not genuine about her. eom

[wanpete]

38. she is not genuine at all. she used to be a guest commentator on the warren ballentine show

(black radio host) When she was on, she was oh so complimentary to Barack. But as soon as she gets on msnbc, she carries water for McSame/Failin. she talks out of both sides of her mouth and I can't stand that in a person. she's not real and that ain't cool.

[sampsonblk]

31. She's a black Republican

No thanks. I like her though! She evolved right before our eyes during this election cycle. It was great to see.

[Uzybone]

32. WHAT????? She is a solid conservative

She has done well during this election season. But she is still a conservative. NO.WAY.

[Window]

33. Thanks, but no thanks. She's quite active, but too Conservative for me.

[livedemocarticordie]

37. what?

miscarriage multiple??wtf???

Michelle is bright and accomplished but a conservative. She has been fairly evolved during this political season I met her in our local grocery store 3 weeks ago. She is gorgeous and very tall and legs that go on forever. Her daugher was with her.

I adore Rachel. Brilliant, just super smart. She is tough; she could do that job. I love Robert Gibbs. He seems uttrly laid back, but he can toss a zinger when he needs too. Very collected like so many of our Obama folks..

[Window]

47. I have no idea what that means. I thought it was some organization or something.

Robert Gibbs would be my pick, too.

On Edit: It's a long list of women's names, but I still don't know what it means because I saws Andrea Yates' name (the woman who drowned here five children in a bathtub). On second edit: The woman are all famous and have had miscarriages.

You can find it here:

[mikiturner]

34. She is right-leaning

She's certainly more moderate than most repubs, but not a reliable ally.

[SweetieD]

35. Are you kidding? She is way too Conservative.

[wanpete]

36. No way! She's a republican and takes every opportunity to knife Barack in the back when she can.

[KathieG]

39. Not a fan.

[Doityourself]

40. Ewwwwwww..no way

[goletian]

42. nah, we need that one guy that craps on fox news whenever they have him on.

i dont know his name, but hes awesome.

[Perky]

43. I nominate Scott McClellan

:sarcasm:

Afterall Obama has pledged a bipartisan administration and he did endorse Obama. ANd he obviously has the experiece



:sarcasm:

[Cha]

44. I'd rather have him who voted for

Obama than some republican who didn't.

michelle bernard can keep her corporate job.

[book_worm]

46. I agree she is a knock out, but other than that, Thanks, but No Thanks.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

48. Michelle Bernard is stupid

She thought Palin's speech at the Repug convention was incredible and acted like Palin wrote it. Bernard has stunned me with her ignorant remarks on many occasions. I wouldn't want this woman anywhere near Obama.
I'm a little tired of hearing that women should be elected to something or running something just because someone thinks they are a knockout.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

49. Uh....no

I don't think she's as smart as she is portrayed to be by Tweety fawning all over her. Her analysis is pretty shallow.

[burythehatchet]

50. A complete fraud.
