Has Anyone Heard Who Will Be Russert's Successor?

[mckara]

I haven't seen anything at all.

It must be a choice between Andrea Mitchell and Chris Matthews.

Any other possibilities?

:think:

[texasleo]

1. The Glenn Beck rumors are getting louder.

nah

[newmajority]

19. Wouldn't surprise me.

And then when he dies of a hate fueled brain aneurysm like Lee Atwater, there will be 120 threads here about what a great journalist he was. :puke:

I swear to God there must be GE lobbyists posting here.

[Frustratedlady]

2. I wouldn't think either of those would be, but...

there have sure been a lot of them "applying" to the front office.

[Blue Belle]

6. David Gregory perhaps...

but Mitchell and Tweety are probably the first choice.

[BeatleBoot]

3. No, but if you hum a few bars...

16. that guy looks like a model for a cathedral gargoyle

[Ned_Devine]

5. Why don't we come up with...

...some names ourselves to see who we would like.

Could an up and comer like David Shuster be considered, or his demeanor too straight forward and not fatherly enough?

[mckara]

12. Shuster Would Be My Recommendation!

n/t

7. NBC needs someone that isn't liked by Democrats or Republicans

John McCain?

[Wilms]

8. Scotty blew his chance. n/t
