Team Obama:
It's official...At least unofficially so. In our fifth story on the Countdown: Senator Hillary Clinton has decided to accept the job of Secretary of State... With no official announcement from President-elect Obama... until after Thanksgiving... Or so we hear.
Market Force:
Perhaps second only to the intrigue over all things Hillary Clinton is the urgency of the global financial meltdown. And, what -- if anything -- can be done to cauterize the crisis. NBC News has learned that President-elect Obama, in an effort to reassure markets...Is planning a Monday roll-out of his proposed economic team. In our fourth story on the Countdown... An answer to the nightly question about the Obama transition: What do we do now...? ODDBALL: The Bush snub is debunked, fire in the sky and bras for dudes.
Leaks Mundy:
: Back in the days of the Obama campaign, when reporters wanted to know Obama's thinking, how much money he raised, so on... here's what an Obama leak sounded like...(crickets)
Late Call: If David Letterman was going to forget to ask the most obvious question of CBS anchor Katie Couric... too bad he didn't have the excuse that it was, actually, late. In our number two story on the Countdown, the "Late Show" is, of course, taped about 5:30 in the evening. And that helped create the original issue in the first place
Tuekey Leftovers: Breaking news in the Governor Sarah Palin Turkey-Pardon Interview Fiasco... A denial of wattle-gate proportions. Remember: We've blurred the graphic moments... but you may want to send small children... to another room.
