I doubt that PBS will replace him, They didn't last time. But if they did and you could pick his replacement, who would it be?
I have some names, but feel free to choose someone else and tell why briefly

+1. I might add that I have a strong adoration for Jim Hightower, but just not the same. nt

But why not Randi Rhodes(sp), Katha Pollit(t), Cornell West, or Jim Hightower?

None of the people in the poll are remotely in his league.
And I was quite distressed when Keith Olbermann left his show, and every morning I wake up to Amy Goodman. But neither of them is very much like Moyers. No one should even attempt to replace him.

Democracy Now is 1hour 5 days per week and she controls the content. Not like on PBS which is increasingly moving to the right. I voted for Oberman but that will never happen.
