Amazing how many people hate Chuck Todd...

...and are spending a weekend hour watching him.

Personally, I could care less if his analysis doesn't match mine. Like Chris Matthews, he lives for politics and the horserace.

He doesn't seem to have a core.

Hate is a strong word, but it's right below hate.

He reports on politics on both sides. The race is close and both sides have had ups and downs.

But I find him to be a creep who has contempt for everyone else he shares the network with, because they are "too partisan".

Like that arrogant ass David Gregory.

Todd and Gregory should be at Faux news. I'd rather watch a true Republican like Steve Schmidt on MSNBC than hypocrites like Todd and Gregory. Gregory must be fired from Meet The Press. He is HORRIBLE.

Meet The Press use to be #1. It was the flagship Sunday show. Bu now it is not. Its TV ratings have declined.

Luke Russert must be so sad and ashamed at what he has done with his father's show.

To me, he is a large part of the problem we have. Mitt Romney bombards Ohio with a pants-on-fire ad about Jeep moving jobs to China ... we all know it's a giant lie, and Chuckie is on NBC Nightly News suggesting that perhaps the ad wasn't quite truthful. Seriously??? The point of his piece to a national audience was Romney's campaign strategy, etc., and then at the end, there was this wimpy understatement that the content of the ad might not be truthful.

He should be on Fox news.

One of panelists predicted Democrats at end of hour would take back the House citing the economy's uptick and bad record approval
rating of Congress.

Todd Isn't dealing with relaity keep saying we could a 2000 like elction not knowing the winner on wedsday and overplaying Romney's
chance to win.

Obama could lose Florida and NC but win all other swing states and still be slightly over 300 Electoral vote.

Sometimes, the tight-mindedness on this site blows me away.

In the real world, anyone who agrees with me 100% makes me very wary.

I am obviously in the minority here, but obviously he was much better as a numbers guy.. Now David Gregory, I can't stand.. It is a disgrace that he is still on Meet the Press..

The first time I saw him I thought he was like 55 years old. It turns out he was born in 1970 and is currently only 42. I swear he runs 20-25 years ahead of his actual age.
