NO !!!!! Say it isn't so !!!!! How can there be no Bob Schieffer after January 20, 2009 -- who is going to give the government the poke in the ribs it deserves no matter who is the President, VP, Speaker of the House and Senate President.
Possible replacements (who will never be as great as Bob but close ) should include Newt Gingrich and Donna Brazille -- two of the sharpest observers and commentators around and who would make a great team; Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, who is just terrific; Judy Woodruff - if she would ever consider coming back to regular TV, John McCaffrey, underutilized on CNN, and yes, Scott Pelley or Jeff Greenfield.
