Hello there I'm Chuck Knot and this is the Chuck Todd cast.

The Warren Ukraine has rightly taken virtually every other story off the front page and in

some cases off of the entire front section of the thing called the newspaper days but

that doesn't mean the political news has been frozen in place.
