Please gawd no... not Katie.
Did anyone see Anderson Cooper reporting on 60 minutes? Perhaps the cnn/cbs merger has already happened?

1. well out of the three it would have to be Koppel, wouldn't it?

[Cooley Hurd]

2. Christiane Amanpour has already blazed the trail between CNN & CBS

...Koppel would never do it, and Katie couldn't be home when the kids arrived froim school at 3:30pm.

My guess is as good as anyone's, of course...:shrug:

[Rick Myers]

4. Christiane Amanpour couldn't be stuck on a set

She likes being right in the mix!!!

[Rick Myers]

3. Not Katie...

Koppel would be good, but he's got a good thing at ABC (don't know anything about his contract) and Cooper, I love him, but he's still just a punk. Alot of promise, but not for big net anchor!

5. I thought

they were thinking of Lou Dobbs . . .

[katmondoo]

6. Lou Dobbs is OK

[Rick Myers]

7. I used to hate Lou, BUT, I think he SEES what is happening!

Lou Dobbs might be a good choice, but he's a VP at CNN and doubt he'd leave, since he'd lose his 'commentary' ability...

11. Lou is GOD!!! (in my book)

[Gogi]

8. Cooper has my vote.

eom

[NYC Liberal]

9. I really hope it isn't Katie.

She should just stick with doing those cutsie cooking segments and whatnot on the Today Show.

Cooper might be good.

10. Scott Pelley

Has been groomed for the job. He will get it, I think.

12. Koppel might just be willing to do it just to get back at ABC.

Remember how ABC was ready to can Koppel until Letterman saved his ass?

[Dr Fate]

13. They should pick a 70 year old woman in a mini-skirt & clown makeup.

Oh wait a minute- they already have plenty of those...

Who cares, it should not be too hard for them to find someone who can sufficiently kiss Bush's ass.

I wont be watching one way or the other.
