Florida (R) Primary: MSNBC coverage notes…
MSNBC’s Florida Republican Primary coverage plans…
Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann will anchor MSNBC’s special live coverage of the Florida Republican presidential primary Tuesday, Jan. 29, beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
MSNBC will continue live coverage all day, with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski anchoring live from Orlando, Fla., NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell anchoring live from Washington D.C., and David Shuster anchoring live from Florida.
MSNBC’s primetime lineup begins with “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” live at 5 p.m. ET; Olbermann and Matthews will anchor live coverage of primary returns from MSNBC Election Headquarters in New York beginning at 6 p.m. ET, with NBC Nightly News Anchor and Managing Editor Brian Williams, NBC News Washington Bureau Chief and moderator of “Meet the Press” Tim Russert, and NBC News Special Correspondent Tom Brokaw joining to provide analysis, along with NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd and Newsweek’s Howard Fineman. Panelists will include Scarborough, MSNBC political analysts Rachel Maddow and Pat Buchanan, and Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post.
MSNBC Chief Washington Correspondent Norah O’Donnell will provide up-to-the-minute analysis of exit polls and early returns. MSNBC will also have reports live from NBC News correspondents with the Republican presidential campaigns.
I’m sure Olby will be brave enough to sit down and talk to one or all of the GOP candidates or their surrogates.
Wait! Maybe not. If that Kurtz interview is to be believed, he finds virtue in not talking to the GOP and for being an echo chamber for the Dems. Besides, he wouldn’t want to be embarassed when/if a Republican gets ahold of him rhetorically.
Such courage for the modern day Edward R Murrow!
