'Like the information delivery style (No "BS")

Western MA. Is She trying to gently let us know she lives in Canada?

I am afraid tonkovich is correct.

"Uberman" lets you know a "Special Comment" is in the offing and it "Brightens
Up" the Evening.

I listened to her a little on XM Radio when she was there. Her idiocy has some logic behind it, but she's still an idiot.

Her speaking style reminds me of Olberman. I wonder if that smarmy, smart-ass verbosity is a pre-req at MSNBC? Ditto Chris Matthews, but at least he's been doing this for a while.

She can get verbose, which is not good when interviewing someone.

I like her, though. She seems thoughtful.

I like her, I find her more tolerable than most other talking heads, I can maybe watch her for 20-30 minutes. She is extremely smart, she does not get rattled, in a situation where bill o'rielly would be screaming 'shut up' at his guest, Rachel is still calm and asking the correct questions. She can be smarmy at times, but never conceited or self-righteous

Also lesbians have the 'inscrutability factor'

I like her.. And yes, she DOES play for her own team. She's the only openly-gay radio/tv host that I know of. Her and Pat Buchannan seem to have this modern-day POINT/COUNTERPOINT thing happening. I'm just waiting for the day he says: RACHAEL YOU IGNORANT SLUT !!!! lol...

Sigh, I just hate myself for this but, here goes.

Did you mean "inscrewtability factor"?

I'm going off into a dark corner now and bang my head against the wall.

I just started watching her two weeks ago. I think she's enjoyable, but the fact that we share the same political perspectives is obviously skewing my favorable opinion.

I'll have to watch more.

Didn't know her either, until last night, when my wife called me upstairs to watch her on TV.

Obviously leans to the left, a little over the top, but funny.
