monday's debate moderator..brian williams of nbc nightly news.

[spanone]

will newt dress down mr williams in the same manner he did juan williams and john king ?

should be an interesting show...especially if gingrich wins S.C.

he will be quite full of himself.

1. If he asks the question about open marriage I sure hope he takes Maddows advice on how to ask the

question. Yes the little dough boy will go after him to.

2. The red meat fest may not play as well

outside of SC. . . .

[spanone]

3. it will be interesting to see how gingrich plays it....he's not known for subtlety

[pnwest]

4. One thing's for sure- whatever newt slings at him, Brian will

handle it deftly. He might even bait him.

[spanone]

5. somebody needs to confront newt. brian would be the perfect media guy to do it.

[senseandsensibility]

6. My prediction is that Wlliams will play very nicely with newty

He won't even approach the topic. He's never struck me as being courageous and he's right of center, if anything. The entire corporate media (at least the ones that would be allowed to moderate a debate) have been completely cowed by newty's bullying, and Williams is not one to buck this trend.

7. I'm pretty sure CorpoMedia© would prefer

that Mittens be the ultimate repub contender. If B. Williams can make newty look intemperate in a bad way, I think he will.

9. IF the public perceives Brian sympathetically and find Newt repulsive...I hope that will be the case

but we'll see...

[CTyankee]

8. Brian is a star in his own right, which John King and certainly Juan Williams are NOT.

Brian is probably huddling with advisers night and day about that question he'll ask. He may duck the issue entirely, or he may have a zinger of a retort when Newt starts snarking...

Either way, I don't think Brian wants to show any weakness in his image. It's worth too much $$$$$ for him...

[spanone]

10. agreed.

[JoePhilly]

11. "Which is a bigger threat to traditional marriage ... adultery or same sex marriage?"

Ask them all to answer THAT question ... and watch the fireworks.

[PRETZEL]

12. I don't know,

Brian Williams may just let the subject alone. That one question by John King single handedly won SC for Newt.

I'm not sure Brian Williams wants to become the focus of the day after debate.

But, don't be suprised if R-money or little Ricky goes after him.

13. anyone know what time? It's not showing up on comcast listings nt
