...expect TV journalism to change in the next five years? - Debra Turner, New York City I've seen a lot of death notices come and go about what I do for a living. Not only are we still standing; I'm proud to report that NBC Nightly News viewers have increased over last year. I think with media rapidly multiplying, the choices we have, have perhaps become so dizzying that there is a kind of "Come home, America" aspect to our increased audience...
...weeks ago that showed Florida Governor Charlie Crist dropping into a tie with former state House speaker Marco Rubio - an underdog Crist had led by more than 20 points last summer - in next year's Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate. But the next day, Crist was still being Crist.

They've wailed about his efforts to restore voting rights to released felons; but Crist...
...Still, at this point Crist has to be careful that conservative voters don't take his attacks on Rubio as attacks on them. He also has to hope that Jeb Bush, whose work as Governor he professes to admire, doesn't decide to throw his still heavy political weight behind Rubio. In a speech to Republicans in Fort Lauderdale last month, a seemingly frustrated Crist read off a litany of his conservative stances and said, "I don't know what else you're supposed to be, except maybe angry too." And yet, if he's going to right his campaign...
