president obama. the same thing is happening to sarah palin. her favorability among republicans has dropped four points in a month. the reason i think it s dropping is because she s not engaging directly, you know. when i had her on the program, i asked specific questions, she didn t want to answer them, she wanted to give a speech and this, that, and the other thing. he also found fault with christine o donnell when she ran for the senate in delaware, so has o reilly found his calling in republican politics, bullying the nuts off the stage to make room for viable candidates? joining me now, alex wagner, huffington post correspondent and msnbc analyst. alex, thanks for joining us tonight. hasbuhe
