Who’s The Next Tim Russert or Andrea Mitchell?

New York Magazine features “five upstart challengers” to the Russerts and Blitzers of the world. These five network anchors or correspondents are covering the 2008 Presidential elections:

CBS’ Nancy Cordes, “Could be the next: Andrea Mitchell.” ABC’s David Muir‘s “Trademark: A surprisingly deep voice for his dreamy, boyish face.” CNN’s Jesica Yellin, “Could be the next: Campbell Brown. FNC’s Megyn Kelly, “Could be the next: Joan Lunden.” And NY Mag writes NBC News political director Chuck Todd could be the next James Lipton because he “has a relatively sedate presence for a political commentator.”
