Comments on: HuffPo Readers Choose Ifill or Maddow to Anchor Meet the Press http://blog.thewhitehouseproject.org/2008/06/26/huffpo-readers-choose-ifill-or-maddow-to-anchor-meet-the-press/ The White House Project Blog Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:01:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Diane Allen http://blog.thewhitehouseproject.org/2008/06/26/huffpo-readers-choose-ifill-or-maddow-to-anchor-meet-the-press/#comment-1704 Diane Allen Fri, 04 Jul 2008 16:31:07 +0000 http://blog.thewhitehouseproject.org/2008/06/26/huffpo-readers-choose-ifill-or-maddow-to-anchor-meet-the-press/#comment-1704 I totally admire Gwen Ifill and feel she is a more than worthy and qualified candidate. I am just seeing this so, I did automatically think of Gwen, but I would be remiss if I did not also toss in the name Donna Brazil. I also am certain that I would not have been the only one to submit her name. Ultimately, either of these women are worthy candidates for the opportunity.

Maddow is a breath of fresh air in the midst of a host of traditional, older, white guys in the media. She is bright, interesting, knowledgeable and incredibly articulate - able to talk circles around most of the guys we see all the time. She always provides an interesting take on a situation and manages to give a rational view while maintaining her ethical compass in a sea of ratings-based coverage. I would gladly arise early on a Sunday morning to listen to her discussions of current events. I want to add my vote for Rachel Maddow to replace Tim Russert.
