Chuck Todd Writing Obama Book

[DainBramaged]

NBC News political director Chuck Todd and NBC's elections director Sheldon Gawiser will co-write, "How Obama Won," according to Leon Neyfakh of The New York Observer.

The book, published by Knopf's Vintage imprint, is being rushed for publication before January's inauguration.

According to Neyfakh, the deal was finalized, "about two weeks before the election," but there's no word when work first started.

The book's editor, Errol McDonald, says if it was Sen. John McCain who emerged victorious, "It'd probably be called 'How Barack Obama Lost.'"

1. Maybe that's why Chuck was getting a little sour on Obama's lead near the end.

It wasn't fitting his book's storyline....?

2. I really grew tired of Chuckie T near the end

He had ALL of the numbers, he KNEW what was developing, and he played like it was going to be close, JUST to make his masters happy. No guts, no glory, I hope his book sucks as bad as he does.
