I wouldn't. I think he has a better ground game and that the likely voter polls this year are undercounting the active youth vote. Justin,

Would you really be surprised if Missouri went for Obama? I wouldn’t. I think he has a better ground game and that the likely voter polls this year are undercounting the active youth vote.

He may not have shown any political bias, but he was very much part of what's wrong with journalism today--that is to say, a lack of serious focus on the issues that matter and a concern more with being entertaining than informative. I think Chuck Todd would be a big improvement over Russert.

They need to look outside the box for someone who has a style different than russert, trying to copy him is a recipe for big let down. i disagree about todd on mtp. yes i agree that he has done an adequate job in presenting the numbers but as far as interviewing important people in a tough way? that remains to be seen. the problem with filling the mtp slot is that everyone people talk about is trying to do tim russert. no one is going to out russert russert.
