1. Nerd then, nerd now. He's the reason I don't watch

MSNBC election nights. He creeps me out. Sorry, not sorry.

2. There's something about him ...

... that is totally hot.

4. Yes!

5. Good God Nancy, tell me ur joking.

And he doesn’t play for your team anyway.
He has stated that he was a Log Cabin Republican at one time. Don’t know if he still is. Anyway, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

6. Copy that!

[secondwind]

3. We all love him at our house.

7. He's the only reason I stay up late on election night. I'm awed by his knowledge.

8. Playing a Part

When a journalist appears on TV they become an actor by default.

I judge him based on the content he brings to my TV—some like the style, some don’t.

But his personal life doesn’t first concern me, I judge actors by their character’s performance first and their personal values second.

Nobody does more work to making a dull thing like hours-long election results understandable and tolerable. He’s state-of-the-art in election numbers, because he worked for it when nobody else did.

11. i had a 4.0 in college UNTIL my first statistics class which i immediately flunked...

...but if Steve had been my prof I would have at least passed.

12. ...

I wasn't a 4.0 but stats were like kryptonite for my brain! I found it interesting and I really tried but dyslexia defeats me most of the time if left without guidance.

9. Kornacki's intolerable enough as it is, thank you very much. (nt)

[samnsara]

10. yeah a cpl years ago steve was not so popular here by a few ppl...

....i have always loved him...

[2naSalit]

13. I like him best...

When he's doing the journalist role but he has stats down, wish I did, I just can't watch him for long on election nights. I think it's that he's so tall that he tends to have Marty McFly's dad's gestures and they're so awkward.
