\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the F. Chuck Todd. This is funny. I don\u2019t know if Jon Stewart would have handled it this way. Oh, speaking which, did you hear Jon Stewart has admitted that he was offered the Meet the Press job? You missed that? This is the final confirmation. It was reported a month or so ago<\/a> that NBC had backed up a Brinks truck to Jon Stewart\u2019s Comedy Central studio in an all-out effort to get him to host Meet the Depressed when they were gonna get rid of David Gregory, and he refused, So that\u2019s when they went and got F. Chuck Todd, and now Jon Stewart has admitted that he was offered the job. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Remember those days when they said I was too political to do commentary on ESPN? Remember those days? How far back was that? How long ago was that? I was too political to be on ESPN. Meanwhile, Charles Barkley can go anywhere he wants and be political, and now a comedian was recruited with a Brinks truck for Meet the Press. And he said no. He said no. Well, you know why he said no. Well, I\u2019ll tell you why he said no. My guess is that even though they wanted to hire a comedian, they don\u2019t want that to be a comedy show. And my guess is he wants to stick with comedy. Who knows. I\u2019m just guessing.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s F. Chuck Todd, he\u2019s Meet the Press now. He was on the Today show today with the fill-in host Hoda Kotb, she\u2019s Kathie Lee\u2019s BFF. Hoda Kotb, she and Kathie Lee do the nine to 10 a.m. hour, but she was seven to nine day. She was cohosting, subhosting, guest hosting, whatever, and she\u2019s got F. Chuck Todd in there. She said, “Hey, F. Chuck, the president\u2019s numbers are low, Congress\u2019 numbers are low. Do you think people are gonna want to go out to the polls at all? Are they gonna be holding their nose when they vote? Are they gonna be picking the lesser of two evils? What are we gonna see on Tuesday, F. Chuck?”<\/line><\/p>\n

TODD: The voters I met, it definitely feels like a hold-your-nose election. You get the sense, and talking to the voters I did, they\u2019d like to punish the president\u2019s party without rewarding the Republicans, and in many cases they\u2019re sort of sitting on their hands, they\u2019re not sure what to do. They do plan on voting, and these states where the races are — they\u2019re spending millions of dollars, they are gonna show up to the polls. They\u2019re probably leaning against the president, but they\u2019re not happy about it.<\/p>\n
