    This sucks. I LOVE Dan Rather's election coverage. So many weird sayings.

    Plus, the guy is from Wharton. Gotta love a small town guy making it big.

    The question is: who will replace him? They haven't groomed anyone like NBC has Brian Williams to replace Brokaw.

    You are absolutely correct. Williams is an excellent anchor and, while he's no Brokaw, he has credibility. CBS is in trouble.

    CBS is not in trouble. If they can't get a replacement in house, they will raid one of their competitors.

    Replace him with Jon Stewart...That'll help their sagging ratings.

    If they hired Norm MacDonald, I would TiVo CBS News every night. I love that guy.

    This is a step in the right direction in terms of ridding the obscene liberal bias that exists in today's media.

    I read somewhere awhile back it could be Harry Smith.

    Here's a link to the story.
