her anti-Hillary stance is coming from. She's probably republican all the way.

There are exceptions of course, like Carville and Matlin (Of course, sometimes i think they're both performance artists who found a niche in politics), but she may have always leaned republican, or at least consdervative, and that's one of the things she and Greenspan have always had in common.

(8,203 posts)relationship - would make for a great read....I am sure the mouth Andrea and Hillary have had some battles..
Greenspan was one of the stupid people who said would be good if we remove the Glass-Steagall regulation...of 1933..and then we had the economic tsunami hit...
I believe it was Andrea who won't allow anyone on her program who mentions it....

(6,537 posts)She has been a news correspondent far longer than she has been married to Greenspan. She was a fully formed person with her own views and political leanings before she ever met the man. To imply that her "anti-Hillary stance" is coming from her relationship with her husband is sexist and insulting to her. Distasteful as her opinions may be, they are her own; she is no one's puppet.
