I expect they'll rotate a few candidates through for a while, not anoint someone right away. NBC won't want another Katie Couric debacle. Here's a list of all the MtP moderators - it's funny, I remember Lawrence Spivak, but Bill Monroe is a total non-entity to me.

Moderators
Martha Rountree 1947 – 1953
Ned Brooks 1953 – 1965
Lawrence E. Spivak 1966 – 1975
Bill Monroe 1975 – 1984
Roger Mudd / Marvin Kalb
(co-moderators) 1984 – 1985
Marvin Kalb 1985 – 1987
Chris Wallace 1987 – 1988
Garrick Utley 1989 – 1991
Tim Russert 1991 – 2008

There is no one I can think of who comes anywhere near Russert in terms of personality, credibility, and depth and breath of experience in both journalism and Washington political life. The head honchos must be reeling.
