Things to ponder...

While waiting for election results to come in:
Is there a Betty Ford Clinic to rehab political junkies:

What will happen now to all the talking heads _ the pols, pundits and press guys and gals who populated the television screen for the past year and became part of our lives?

Some, like David Broder, Ron Brownstein, Pat Buchanan, James Carville and Mary Matalin, will survive as long as there are Sunday talk shows and Larry King. Likewise, Karl Rove and Bill Cristol should be safe as long as Fox News stays in business. And, thanks to CNN, folks like Paul Begala, Bay Buchanan and Roland Martin should still be around.

But, what of Michelle Bernard, Chris Cillizza, Ana Marie Cox, the Chicago-area reporters like Jill Zuckman and Lynn Sweet and all the other commentators who we became so familiar with? Will they just disappear into the ether of television? Or, will they find a new life as permanent pundits in residence?
