Pretty smart move by Brokaw and NBC that will maintain the integrity of the show through this election cycle. I do find it ironic that NBC and MSNBC, who through Olbermann, Matthews and to a degree even Russert (who now-famously declared the nomination for Obama), have become the most Obama friendly major network, will now turn away from "on-the-job training" and change for experience and inevitability. Personally, I think it's great. Brokaw's got the stones for it. I really like Brian Williams and thought he did a decent job on this morning's broadcast but I don't think he was forceful enough as a moderator and was almost softspoken. Tim Russert may have been understated but he was never softspoken.
