Who would you think will replace Tom Brokejaw in Meet the Press?

[TheCoxwain]

I am pressing the button for Katie .. she is respected, has strong interview skills and a pleasing personality.


Secretly - we would all love KO .. but you know it as well as I do - it ain't gonna happen.


I will add more names to this list that you suggest ..So I am not including a 'other' option as you can only vote once.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. Sarah Palin

[TheCoxwain]

2. I refuse to add her .. that will be the end of the world as we know it

Bad boy .. no donut for you

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. I hate donuts. But she had a J-skule degree, from SIX skules, no less.

so she's'n real edjukated, like, you betcha.

[damntexdem]

31. Yeah, I was going to say that -- after all, she's a journalism MAJOR.

LOL!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

54. grate mines, and all that.

then again, have you ever seen a grate mine? Nor have I.
Then again, where do all the grates on city streets come from?

[Pyrzqxgl]

3. How about Howard Fineman?

[TheCoxwain]

6. Dont think he's hosted a show yet ...

[dchill]

47. I approve that message!

Believe it or not, I hadn't thought about Fineman in that slot.

[BklynChick]

4. Gregory or Williams

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. gregory's bad enough to be selected. damn.

[mscuedawg]

5. James Carville ; )

:applause:

[BklynChick]

9. you should add Andrea Mitchell. I think she has a shot.

[TheCoxwain]

13. Done ..

[Sebastian Doyle]

36. As long as they never discuss any economic stuff

I really don't want to hear Mrs. Alan Greenspan covering up for her hubby and his friends and how they engineered the upcoming 2nd Great Bush Crime Family Depression.

[chimpymustgo]

40. A little history: Andrea was "passed over" when Russert was selected. Put money on GWEN IFILL.

[msallied]

44. Is it just me, or does Andrea Mitchell remind you of someone who takes Valium regularly?

She seems very, I dunno, "flat" to me.

[Bucky]

48. No, nothing you post here makes me think you take valium.

But to answer your question directly, it's possible that both of you could give me that impression.

[msallied]

52. lol. Smart ass.

;)

[MadBadger]

10. It will be David Gregory...Brian Williams already has a good job.

His show is called Race for the WH...race ends he takes the job.

[Left Is Write]

11. Brian Williams is probably happy where he is - anchoring NBC Nightly News.

I can see David Gregory being tapped.

Katie Couric has a contract with CBS that she's probably pretty happy with.

[SuperTrouper]

12. What about David Shuster? Gwen Ifill? She was not that bad in VP Debate

And what about NBC's Peter Alexander?

[TheCoxwain]

14. I have 2 more options to fill ... recommend one and I will add it

[MadBadger]

16. Lester Holt!

[TheCoxwain]

17. you gotta be kidding .. he does weekend news ..

[MadBadger]

20. You chose Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, and Joe Scarborough...and I have got to be kidding?

and Brian WIlliams has the best job at the network....where did you pull these choices?

[TheCoxwain]

23. but you have admit that they have a better shot than Lester ... I like him

but dont think he will make the final shortlist .. I put KO in there because there are plenty of guys here who would love that

[MadBadger]

25. I dont think any of them have any chance to be on the shortlist

Lester would have a wee bit more because he isnt known as being a partisan.

David Gregory is probably leading for it right now.

[Bucky]

50. Blah. Lester Holt is bo-ring.

He's like Britt Hume with a brain.

[WeDidIt]

15. None of the Above

They're putting (Up)Chuck Fraud in there.

[faithfulcitizen]

19. NO WAY....did you hear this?

[Shakespeare]

18. Other--I'd like to see a team of Schuster and Todd.

And you Chuck Todd haters can kiss my sweet liberal ass. He's an outstanding statistician, and a very good analyst. I don't WANT somebody who pulls our party line all the time (we have Keith and Rachel for that, and I like them right where they are).

[SuperTrouper]

22. Take a look at young Peter Alexander. Remember Russert was an

unknown when he took over MTP. I think Peter Alexander is a good potential replacement.

[Shakespeare]

24. I'll keep an eye out for him.

Is he on MSNBC? I consider myself pretty up-to-date on up and coming reporters, but I'm not sure I know who he is.

[SuperTrouper]

26. He is both at NBC and MSNBC; he is young and has a good Currculum vitae. Very good looking, too

and very capable handling tough situations and conditions.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6907171/

[dchill]

49. I think a team would be a good idea...

and Shuster and Todd get my vote(s).

[SoFlaJet]

21. Katie Couric doesn't work for NBC anymore

if I had MY choice it would be Russert protege' Gwen Ifill

[rvablue]

27. You should have included David Shuster in your poll AND

Brain Williams is winning?????

His voice makes my head want to explode!

[Robeson]

28. Amy Goodman.

[CADEMOCRAT7]

29. I will stop watching it if they get Gregory. I hope for Williams. n/t

[BklynChick]

32. of the two, Williams seems far less biased to me than Gregory.

[AlCzervik]

30. Bill Moyers.

[Lugnut]

33. I'd like to see David Shuster get the nod.

I'll be shocked if it would actually happen.

[Sebastian Doyle]

34. As sickening as it is to say this, it will be Douche Gregory

Obviously, there won't be a need for "Race to the White House" in three weeks, and they aren't going to demote him back to correspondent, so they have to give him some other top billing assignment, and Press The Meat just happens to have an opening.

[TheCoxwain]

35. Excellent reasoning ...plus we will be into the off-season in terms of

politics - that will give him plenty of time to grow and adjust without all the intense focus he will receive before the elections ...

[high density]

37. Brian Williams is not going to anchor both the news and MTP

It's not him. I can't see him wanting to ride the train down to DC every weekend.

I think it's probably going to be David Gregory, which is quite disappointing.

[npincus]

38. Chuck Todd (maybe)

I think Todd was his protege.

[chimpymustgo]

39. It WILL be GWEN IFILL. Take that to the bank.

[styersc]

41. There should be an "Other" category because the best person ..

would be "Flo", the girl with the thick make-up on the Progressive Insurance commercial. You know the one with the "tricked out name tag". She's hot and thoroughly qualified.

[TheCoxwain]

43. She's hot ... and I think McCain would have done well to pick her for VP

[Dinger]

42. I'd LOVE Dan Rather

I don't give a shit how old he is. He'd be awesome!

[TennesseeDem]

45. Pat Buchanan

You know it! :puke:

[Bucky]

46. David Gregory doesn't bother me. I've seen him be tough on both sides.

Chris Matthews I still find too shallow & annoying to see in such an important slot.

[DailyGrind51]

51. Tina Fey would be my real choice!

[Arugula Latte]

53. So what's the deal? Is MTP a temporary gig for McCain's fluffer boy Tom?
