Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 614039, member: 19"] Without setting off some kind of Marrone vs Shafer fork in the road, Marrone struck me as the type that if he didn't like your question, you were going to know right away in his answer. And you were probably going to get quick responses from that point forward unless you asked what he considered to be more sensible questions. He wasn't there to be a friend of everyone in the media, he knew how to get access out there (i.e. pick Rahme). Shafer strikes me as the type who doesn't want to have a tense relationship with anyone in the media. So if he hears a question he doesn't like (and let's be honest, these guys get some bad ones), he'll give a diplomatic answer. He'll later seek out the person privately and let him know why he thought that was a bad question and that he may not get such diplomatic responses in the future. [/QUOTE]
