of msnbc's "politics nation." and joy, that poem speaks for itself, and i was there on the inauguration the moment she read that poem, and it was extraordinary, and thrilling moment. it would be difficult to categorize her, but renaissance woman in addition to icon and great literary icon starts the process. >> yeah, and i they for me growing up, maya angelou was sort of what we as like a young black girl thought of or hoped would be the grown-up me. she was a great writer, because she captured the essence of what it meant to grow up in this country as a young black woman. she tells the story of her childhood in stamps, arkansas, and this rural childhood in a lot of ways a difficult and horrific experience, right thashgts she had in terms of the race, gender, and in terms of the whole gamut of it. but she captured something sort of indescribable about being a black woman in this country, and in a different time, but so many of us related to her. just as almost a mother or grandmother, and again, as i said, the gro

i checked msnbc as of thursday night in its prime time schedule was still talking about it on four of the five shows. >> talking about rove and his comments, not so much about hillary's health and all the questions that still remain unsans -- unanswered. >> my point is you have to talk about hillary's health in order to talk about rove so therefore the issue is still out there. >> i've been saying this for six months. he thinks it's a legitimate issue obviously. he was surprised that it was a headline writer at the new york post putting brain damage in there as if he's suggesting she's mentally impaired. it does suggest to me that karl rove accomplished his mission although he sees it differently. >> i think he did accomplish his mission and in addition to the health issue, it raises the age issue, every time we've brought this up on any channel, they are talking about, she's going to be 69 or is this too hold -- >> and 77 after her second term. >> and even this they bring up karl didn't feel this way when people were talking about mccain's age. >> let's see,ed media -- the media talk

i want to go to msnbc political news correspondent and news director chuck todd. i don't know if you heard john yarmuth just on, and not surprising that he said that obamacare is going to help alison grimes, and what about in oregon? >> well, what is interesting about to dday is that it show cases the good and the bad and the ugly of health kcare. a you talked about kentucky, and i don't know if it is going to hurt her, but it is not going to help her as much as others. and oregon tried to run its own exchange and fraught with problems and one of the worst in the country and so bad that they had to extend enrollment, and so bad to ask the federal government the take over essentially, and unclear whether they will ever be able to build a state exchange for build one for the next year. so republicans love the opportunity that is here in this e respect, because there is a physician monica webby who they like to see republican nomination to show about what the unease of competence to run health care, and i bring it up, because it is tough for her, and she has a tea pa

chuck todd is the host of the daily rundown here on msnbc. a couple of things. my punch about this year, and you probably have your own hunches that the people on the democratic side who may withstand even a tsunami are the ones with strong family roots in the state. whether it's begich alaska. you have the big democrat in kentucky running. does that work? do you think that can work based on your sense of history? these two women may have a better shot, even though they're novices in many ways than some of the more regular democrats in there including imcome bents. >> the democrats are counting on it. we've seen marry landrieu overperform democratic performance in louisiana time and time again. boone landrieu's daughter gets through. they trust the brand prk they trust the name. when she makes the case, right? when a family heir of sorts, a member of the political dynasty whatever you want to call them says i put louisiana, arkansas, georgia, kentucky, whatever it is first, an older voter in midterm might say, you know i did know sam nun. he was pretty good. i d

i think msnbc does a better job than most. but a lot of time out there, you're hearing the same thing over and over and over again. and one of the things that we aimed to do was listen to the audience. what do you guys actually want to hear from? so every week, we actually do a competition for what's the underreported story that's been flying under the radar. so we do the big stories, and we do a unique take on them and hopefully go deeper in them. but we also bring out stories that people aren't hearing about. and it's suggestions off the internet, so it's a lot of funny cat pictures and hardcore porn. [ laughter ] >> seth: do you know what's a good underreported story? i don't know if you heard about this flight 370. >> what is that? [ laughter ] actually, we had lester holt in a flight simulator. >> seth: did you really? >> yeah. he didn't find the plane, but he was very serious about it. >> seth: yeah, he's very serious. >> but, you know, in all seriousness. one of the stories, for instance, that our audience pitched to us

joining me now, the host of msnbc's "the reid report," joy reid. she interviewed michelle nunn over the weekend. i'm going to play some sound from your interview. but first tell us what you found out. >> it's interesting because you have a lot of georgians who the last time they voted for a democrat the name was nunn. sam nunn was a pretty popular sort of middle of the road democratic senator. so that name i.d. is helping michelle nunn. you also of course have a carter on the ballot running for governor. so you have a lot of familiar names on the democratic side which is actually seen as very helpful. and what michelle nunn is essentially doing is she's running as a very inoffensive type of democrat. she's not an obama democrat. she doesn't even say she's a democrat in her ads. and if you look on her website, she lists a lot of her priorities, campaign finance reform, getting georgia families in order. she does not list the affordable care act. not a word about it on the website. so she's not running affirmatively as the kind of democrat you would

joining me now is, dana milbank, msnbc analyst, and the host of msnbc's show. steve, what do you think of the theory? >> we will see. my thought on this one is, this didn't work because this was so like spectacularly and laughably. i think the attacks on hillary have begun. seeing that with benghazi. this compared to what is to come. assuming she does run for president. this is nothing. of what it reflects. and what you get to play out. what nancy pelosi is saying. and, karl rove and, republicans are responding to hillary clinton being very popular. they're responding to that. that's true. what they're really responding to is the realization of how much they've contributed to that popularity. because the republicans succeeden the csucceed en in the country, hillary clinton to the 2008 presidential campaign one of most polarizing political figures in the country. did that by attacking her every single day, nonstop, she and her husband were two pafaces. the moment that barack obama sup planted them as standard bearer of the party. the way of thinking, the strateg
