Chuck Todd Should Be The Moderator For Meet The Press

I said it when Tim Russert passed, if there was one person who could replace him it would be Todd. Now I'm sitting here watching MSNBC and Chuck Todd is asking the Russert like questions that need to be asked. I can't help but wonder if MSNBC is doing this on purpose and testing him out. Maybe they are thinking the same thing. I really hope so, because I think he is by far the best choice.

There has got to be a reason they have him anchoring right now asking Democrats and Republicans alike tough questions.

So I'm hoping I'm right that next year when the new moderator of Meet The Press is chosen, that person is Chuck Todd.

Chuck Todd For Host Of "Meet The Press" Campaign

I guess if people really wanted Chuck Todd to be the new host, they could start something like this. Have people contact MSNBC Here and voice their preference for Chuck Todd as host. This is something that could be done, Don't you think?

Just Sayin...

If this sounds like a good thing tell them ... Here

If they were thinking about him, viewer feedback could give him a boost. I just want to see Tim Russert's work continued in the same fashion or as close too it as is possible.

Update : So Tom Brokaw will be the temp. moderator during the election. I kind of disagree, I think Chuck Todd would be even better during this period (and beyond) especially since besides Tim Russert, Chuck Todd understands this election better than anyone. I know NBC wants to take their time. But I think the choice is clear now, why wait.... Chuck Todd for Moderator!

Todays Meet The Press With Brian Williams

Today was the first Meet The Press since Tim's passing. To my surprise Brian Williams is sitting in. Nothing against Brian Williams, I think he is a great guy and all, But I don't think he is the right fit to be the replacement. I just don't see him asking the hard tough questions that need to be asked. In fact I have seen him pass on the tough questions that need to be asked. This I hope is not the choice. Like I said before I think Chuck Todd is really the only viable choice. You need an unknown who will not be worried about making long standing connections angry with tough questions, which is precisely the type of questions that need to be asked on Meet The Press. I just don't think that Brian Williams has what it takes for this spot. He is a great anchor but I just don't see him as the Host for Meet The Press.

Update : Lindsay Graham is a Jackass...

Update2 : Oh man Joe Biden made Lindsey Graham look like the Jackass he is. Totally shut him down. Some transcripts and video Here

Here is another video I found. The Crooks & Liars Piece above is also worth a look.

Meet The Press : New Host Thoughts

This has been a topic I have not been too excited to talk about. I know no host will ever be as great as Tim Russert. I do however think that he found himself a great replacement. A person who is almost or just as level headed as Tim. A person who's political genius has really shown through this year. Tim Russert found this guy and it is almost ironic that the year Tim passed is the same year this person really started to shine. He has proved himself accurate and fair and I think Tim might of had him in mind if he should ever leave. It is the only person I can really see taking his spot and giving it the amount of respect it deserves (Sorry Keith Olbermann, Your my number two). His name? His name is Chuck Todd. Some might not of heard of him. If you watched the Democratic Primaries at all on MSNBC then you already know him. This is the choice I think, I really can't see anyone else doing it but him. I guess we will see.

How say you?
