Again, why is she LESS qualified to talk about politics than the Reagan's or Liz Cheney? What makes them experts on anything? Well, the same things that make them experts make her an expert too. This is a goose/gander argument.
What makes Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck experts. Hell they could not even graduate college. The only thing they are experts at is quitting.

Maddow has a Phd from Oxford.

Does a PHD make her more qualified to be a talking head?

In fact, what ARE the qualifications to be a TV talking head....i ask because it seems to me that you just need to be fairly articulate and have a half ass grasp of issues. If so, then Meghan McCain qualifies as much as anyone else.

If there are more Republicans like her, I'll be glad to listen to what she has to say.

Is it just that Obama's kids aren't old enough yet to make them news analysts with opinions on important issues?
She doesn't come close. Her Daddy isn't a true Republican, and she sure as heck isn't.

True Republican in what sense? If he isn't, then why did he win the nomination in the last election?

In todays world, you can't be a true Republican unless you are so far right that you believe slavery was a fine institution that we need to consider going back to and the 13th amendment was itself unconstitutional.
