The Ticker: Card, Mitchell, O’Brien…

> FNC broke the Andy Card resignation news at 7:59am. MSNBC had it at 8am and CNN followed at 8:01am. GMA was the first morning show to report the news…

> An e-mailer loved Monday’s CBS Evening News: “Russ Mitchell blew away Williams and Vargas tonight! The format was more fast-paced than usual…he talked to Stewart, Atkisson, Logan, and Axelrod, as well as having Mason in-studio.”

> Michael Starr notes: “CNN’s Miles O’Brien, and his dogs, pose for a Runner’s World photo shoot this Friday in Central Park.”
