Where Candidates Meet The Pressure

Howard Kurtz at the Washington Post has an excellent article today about the role Tim Russert and Meet The Press play in presidential elections. Read it here, and here's a taste:

Insiders call it the Russert Primary, and no television show looms larger in presidential politics these days. As Howard Dean learned two weeks ago, faltering on "Meet the Press" brings an avalanche of negative headlines. But a strong appearance can kick-start a campaign.

"It's important that we try to find out who these men and women are and what they believe," says Russert, who keeps "voluminous" files on every White House contender. "The easy thing is to provide free time for infomercials." ...

... "A lot of shows on television, particularly on cable, are 'Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know what I think.' That's not what 'Meet the Press' is all about."

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
