...listener, her gift for sounding more or less middling to either side. Unlike many hosts on the radio and TV left and right, Maddow majors in common sense and shies away from conspiracy theories - though she did push the notion that Jeb Bush would be this year's GOP presidential candidate and, more plausibly, that if the Democrats couldn't agree on a candidate by mid-spring they'd be assuring four more years of a Republican in the White House...
