NFL Kickoff: Political Insiders Make Their Super Bowl Predictions
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyAre you ready for some football? The NFL season officially kicked off Thursday night when the New Orleans Saints began their title defense against the Minnesota Vikings. That means it's time for our second annual "pigskins and politics" column -- where a group of top political insiders and opinion leaders weigh in with their wildly premature Super Bowl predictions. Why ask political and media folks about football? First, sports and entertainment people rarely hesitate to spout off about politics, so turnabout is fair play, right? Second, as GOP strategist Kevin Madden told me last year, ...

Bill Clinton Feels Sarah Palin's Pain: Why We Don't Do Rumors
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailySarah Palin: Bill Clinton feels your pain. So does Chuck Todd -- and everyone else being gossiped about on the Internet this week. And last week. And next week. Rumors, Mark Twain once opined, die after about three days, as the public's curiosity -- and appetite for gossip -- turns to a new victim. But Twain never lived to see the World Wide Web and its amazing ability to spread salacious hearsay, even if it's false. ...
Feud Breaks Out Over President Obama's Cheeseburger Field Trip
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs Patricia Murphy noted earlier, President Obama dropped in on the Five Guys Restaurant today for some rapid nourishment (video here). He was accompanied by an NBC News film crew.The subject of the President's trip came up at today's White House Press Briefing, where CBS' Mark Knoller cast a suspicious eye at the "day in the life" burger run, prompting a quick rejoinder from NBC's Chuck Todd:Here's the video of the President's visit to Five Guys: ...
Chuck Todd moves to the White House, 'Chuckolytes' hang on for the ride.
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyOn Chuck Todd's first day as NBC News' chief White House correspondent, the unlikely television favorite of campaign 2008 admittedly didn't know much about the particulars of television production. He had never written a script, never produced a television package, and never done a formal stand-up to introduce a story during a news program. But Todd's fans, the self-described "Chuckolytes" of Facebook, Twitter, and fan sites across the Internet, could not have cared less about his facility with the finer points of the medium. Instead, his promotion to the most prestigious beat in the industry ...
VIDEO: 100 Days of Chuck Todd
By Patricia Murphy - Politics Daily"Politics Daily" caught up with Chuck Todd on the north lawn of the White House recently to discuss his first 100 days on the beat as NBC News' chief White House correspondent. Todd described the best and worst parts of the less-than-glamorous job, told us which president once looked at him and thought "Who the hell are you?" and responded to rumors of a possible MSNBC Saturday show for his fast-rising star. (For more on Todd's fans, see "Chuck Todd goes to the White House, 'Chuckolytes' Hang on for the Ride.") Video below, with apologies for the editing skills, which are as almost as new as ...
Chuck Todd Bombs on 'Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyFor the NPR listeners in our audience, this is old news. But those of you who didn't tune in to this weekend's edition of "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" need to brace yourself for a real shocker:Chuck Todd has a lousy grasp of esoteric Iceland trivia.Chuck and his dashing goatee called in to the popular public radio show on Saturday to answer questions in a segment called "Not My Job." This week's theme was "Well, it's never too late to go back to cod-fishing..." and before you ask, no, it wasn't a retirement plan for Congressman/tugboat captain Don Young (R-AK).In fact, the segment concerned a ...
Revealed: Why Chris Matthews Nixed Senate Run
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyChris Matthews' much-talked-about Senate run is not to be, and US News' Nikki Schwab finds out why from NBC's Chuck Todd:"Because [Chris] had a really good friend of his say to him, 'What are you going to do when you get there?' and he couldn't answer the question and he realized that, and that's why he didn't run," says Todd. "It was a childhood dream to be a senator, but he didn't know what he was going to do if he got there." It was the same for 2008 presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and John McCain, says the coauthor of How Barack Obama Won. "They never knew why they wanted to be ...

Some Numbers for the Rest of the Silly Season
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyWhat kind of Tuesday are we calling May 6? Little Super Tuesday? The Tuesday to end all Tuesdays? Maybe not Super, but Really Important Tuesday? Now that the residents of North Carolina and Indiana have been pandered to, bamboozled and otherwise rubbed up against, I must say that living in an earlier primary state, this card-carrying elitist (who actually should profile as a Clinton supporter) is a little miffed that nobody kissed my tushie this hard. But getting down to brass tacks, its still just a numbers game. Did Hillary convince enough lunch pail Reagan Dems or Obama get enough ...
