The New Republic reviews David Gregory’s new MSNBC show, “Race for the White House.” An excerpt:

Instead of the “Tucker” show’s use of analysts of every political stripe from every publication, think tank, or cause in Washington, “Race for the White House” relies on a stable of MSNBC regulars to regurgitate the opinions they have been expressing all day on other MSNBC shows. It’s a misuse of Gregory’s talents as well, which are better-suited to hard-hitting interviews than the crushing personality overload of “Race for the White House.” (Plus there’s this incredibly bizarre and somehow terrifying shot of the White House that is always hovering behind Gregory and drenched in Kool-Aid red; it’s like the Amityville White House.) Punditry: 1. Good discussion: 0.

Bring back Tucker!
