She's a realist. I'd rather her tell me how it really is than blow sunshine up my ass

4. I've had to stop listening to her for the past few days.
I know she doesn't want people to get complacent, but sometimes she's downright demoralizing. I like her a lot; she's smart and interesting, but...

6. Ooo maybe she's a republican or worse a *puma*

7. She's motivating people to go to the polls!!!!
Say you're sitting on the couch. The polls close in half an hour...or even two hours. All the republicans are talking like Obama has it in the bag. You're not going to drag your ass down to the polling place, are you? But then Rachel says we still need your vote. See what she's doing?

14. I agree. I think Rachel thinks the worse case scenario is if people think it is in the bag and
then don't get out and vote.

8. Listen to her as if she's asking questions, not as if she's ordering you around.

I think she's one of those people who feels calmer if she knows what she's up against.

Some of us are like that. lol

15. I must confess, she has been getting on my nerves too.
I don't get it.

I have been a huge fan of hers for many years.
