So how do I feel about David Gregory taking over? Uhm ... it's okay I guess? Like a wall painted with a particularly intense shade of beige?

The question shouldn't be whether or not to bail out the U.S. auto industry, but how assistance to the car manufacturers fits within the larger national energy plan that is greener, self-sustaining and economically positive.

Tom Brokaw visited Conan O'Brien Wednesday night, and the two talked about "Meet the Press" as well as the upcoming Obama presidency. Brokaw — ...

The media's collective failure means that for the next four years we will have a cottage industry of Obama rumormongering that will make Bill Clinton and Vince Foster look like child's play.

For news junkies, the fun has just begun. There's an administration to cast, speculation about post-election deals, mergers and maneuvers. And how about the people who deliver the news?

While McCain campaign manager Rick Davis affected not the slightest care in the world, Obama chief strategist David Axelrod refused to play the prophecy game.

Tom Brokaw lobbed softballs at Thompson, and attacked Kerry with Republican talking points. As long as he's host, NBC should rename its program "Meet The Right-Leaning Mainstream Press."

With a this-hurts-me-more-than-it-hurts-you air, Brokaw plopped unfavorable poll results on a dogged but visibly weary McCain, and while he tried to show his game face, it was not his strongest performance.

NBC has just announced that John McCain will -- finally -- appear on "Meet The Press" this Sunday. I say "finally" because McCain has not appeared on the program since the campaign declared unofficial war on NBC.

Shouldn't a president be concise on issues? Candidates seem to ignore the signals of blinking lights, so let's install an emphatic alarm that sounds somewhere between a fart and a fire engine.

Once again, Brokaw's round table was a liberal-free zone. He concluded with the idiotic prediction game, John McLaughlin's gift to the game-show-as-phony-sophistication genre.

The late-night comedy shows all seemed to have the same takeaway from Tuesday's presidential debate. If three's a trend, four makes it official: The McCain Wander is comedy gold.

Jim VandeHei and John Harris of The Politico have gone and decreed last night's debate "The worst debate ever." In the first place, on this regard, they are hopelessly and ridiculously wrong.
Michael Carmichael | Posted 10.08.2008 | Politics
In the course of the debate, McCain was outclassed, outgunned and outrun, time and time and time again. Obama's performance was so commanding that he barely noticed a petulant McCain.

Last night's debate came close to a Donald Rumsfeld press conference: "As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know..."

I'm hoping Schieffer wil take a cue from that moment, and take every opportunity to remind each man when his time for speechifying is over, and push them to actually answer questions they are asked.

McCain's supporters seemed happy with the ground rules. Obama's supporters seemed happy with the results. But many were troubled by the debate organizers' claim of true public participation in Tuesday's forum.

Simply put, McCain left his "A" game at the office. In failing to land the needed body-blow, Obama gets the win. And while Obama's was a technical win, he did not perform poorly.
