The Ed Show's Thursday "Rapid Response" segment discussed Hillary Clinton's favorability numbers via recent polling data.

Ed Schultz started the segment saying anyone Democrat who is resistant to the automatic "coronation" of the former Secretary of State needed a reality check and should see that she is going to be the obvious choice.

"How can she not run? It's almost a calling with these numbers!"

Schultz then welcomed guests Karen Finney, an MSNBC host who disclosed that she has personally worked with and for Hillary in the past, and former Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) who then sang Hillary Clinton's praises and touted her background and political experience. Dorgan even said he believes Hillary Clinton will be the first female President of the United States.

Later in the segment the three talked about potential Republican nominees and scoffed at any of the alleged contenders. When Schultz displayed polling that shows Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) at the top of the list of potential GOP nominees, Finney said she'd love to see Clinton "take on any of those men." Schultz then asked Karen Finney who she would like to see go against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and she answered with a grin,

Ooooooooh, Ted Cruz! That would just be too much fun!

Ed laughed and said she was just looking for entertainment and Finney agreed. Sen. Dorgan then said,

Ed, I have the ticket. Republicans they need to run this ticket, Trump and Palin.

Everyone laughed and then Schultz said,

You don't even want it to be fair Senator Dorgan! I'll take it though. It'd be good for cable no question about it.
