MY REACTION: (Because Don wants one)
He is relatively unknown. I don't know for sure if people will warm up to him right away (or at all). Tim Russert was as amiable as they get (warm fuzzies). Tom Brokaw has an overtly fatherly vibe to him (different warm fuzzies, but warm fuzzies all the same). But this guy?? There's nothing terribly obvious and upfront for us to connect to. He has an uphill battle in winning over the audience. I'm not saying he can't or won't. I only want to say that I suspect his trial period will be a long one.
