Looks like Ed Schultz is being GROOMED for the 10pm MSNBC slot

[itsrobert]

He's on now, wearing a suit on the set of 1600. Basically how they started grooming Rachel Maddow for her show. Actually, Rachel made them sit up and take notice.

1. I've actually enjoyed listened to ol' Ed of late. I would like to see that

slot filled rather than re-running Obermann.

[SharonRB]

3. Not me

I often miss the 8:00 show and know I can catch the later one if I do.

[FLAprogressive]

4. that's true....I often enjoy watching the 10p repeat

[tabbycat31]

12. I do too

but I would assume that the 10 PM KO repeat would be bumped to 11

[snappyturtle]

15. I usually get to watch KO again in the wee morning hours so it's

not that I mind seeing him twice its just too soon! I have trouble staying asleep. It's a curse. For laughs sometimes I watch Faux news, usually O'Reilly.....then I have REAL trouble going back to sleep and could kick myself!

2. Good. I like Ed. It would be great to have a pro-RKBA liberal on TV.

[Ikonoklast]

5. Most people in this country would like Ed.

He is a little too far to the right on some issues for my tastes, which would probably still put him left-of-center, but, I do enjoy his unfaltering support for Labor.

He is also a good spokesman for responsible firearm ownership.

6. I like his support for Labor

and for responsible gun ownership.

[Raine]

7. That's good

cause sometimes I'm stuck watching KO THREE times, much as I love KO three times is just too much. :yoiks:

[otohara]

13. Step Away From

the TV - three times is too much.

Or at least check out some other channel - PBS, History perhaps.

[Raine]

16. Good advice

I've got to break this addiction. :hi:

[eleny]

8. And he hosted the program earlier in the week for one night

He did a very good job that night. Even kept Lars Larsen from monopolizing the panel.

9. I'm from Ed Country (FARGO!!!) and would love him on MSNBC!

[Mr. Sparkle]

10. I like Ed, if the Young turks don't get it i think he would be a good alternative at 10pm

[snowbear]

11. I hope Big Eddie does wind up on MSNBC!

If you've ever been fortunate enough to attend one of his townhall meetings, you know how passionate he is about President Obama..

Plus, he's open and honest about how his wife, Wendy (an RN) opened his eyes years ago when he "was" a conservative.

He used to be pretty good about chatting live on his website, but as he's gotten busier.. he doesn't host live chats as often, but it's fun when he does.

In the very early stages of the primary, he was a Hillary supporter and it was fun arguing with him about why Obama would win! ..He jumped on the Obama bandwagon long before he won the primary though.. probably in part because the majority of his listeners were already there.

I think he'd do a great job with his own show!

14. Ed dont take no shit from Repukes......

Give Ed a chance.... he is a strong radio host. He knows whast he is talking about.

[RamboLiberal]

17. I'd like to see Ed get a gig on MSNBC

I think he could be the real blue collar populist who could attract blue collar, hunting and fishing, football loving types. It was great to here him go off on health insurance costs and backing unions and card check!
