We must not have been watching the same program. It struck me that he realizes it might very well be a blowout. "I view the White House as confident. I don't think anyone, especially in the WH to predict just how weak a candidate like Romney would be."

That does not sound like he was doing any selling.

He attended George Washington University from 1990 to 1994;although he majored in political science and minored in music, he did not graduate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Todd#Personal


Tom Brokaw dropped out of The University of Iowa, where he says he majored in "beer and co-eds".

With a brokered convention and an idiot like Rmoney as the nominee of a split (R) party there isn't going to be much need for analysis.


He could lose his 9:00am time slot.

It's all an act to justify his job. I bet he gets really cynical off the record.
