Chuck Todd for Meet the Press?

I was thinking that Chuck Todd would be my pick for Meet the Press, if I were given such power.  Check out Jonah's idea for Meet the Press here…

"The best choice on the list of possibilities is Chuck Todd. I know Chuck a little, but friendship isn't my motivation. I think he's the only person on the inside track who'd actually consider the show to be more important than his TV career. Russert famously considered himself a "custodian" of MTP. I'd bet that Chuck would hold the same devotion, if not even more intensely. And with the exception of Matthews, Chuck knows more about politics than all of the other contenders combined. 

So why not have the best of both worlds? Russert was many things, but he wasn't a "moderator." Moderators balance and direct debates. Russert, to his credit, was a prosecutor. Why not make Chuck Todd the actual moderator of the show and have him moderate a panel of journalists?

In a small way it would be a nice tribute to Russert to go back to the old panel format, demonstrating that his was a unique talent that justified breaking with the traditional approach."
