... then I was HOOKED! I think Rachel Maddow (and Lawrence of course) have raised the bar significantly for political commentary.

What's remarkable is that even when Rachel and Lawrence have the night off for whatever reason, their fill-ins are just as good. It's a sign that the research staffs and show-runners who work behind the scenes are the folks who really bring it and make these shows excellent. That's the sign of a high-quality management team and I hope they stay together after the sale of MSNBC.
