She comes prepared and not only asks great questions, but great follow up questions. Her panel also has conversations rather than just rapid fire opinions and she'll push back when she disagrees with what was said or to get a more detailed response. Two hours would give her a chance to really get in depth on topics. She has a Larry King-like way of relaxing people and getting them to open up.

As for MTP Daily, I change to Wolf Blitzer on CNN or local news at 5PM.
