Meet The Press Commentator - Tom Brokaw.

Former NBC news anchorman Tom Brokaw spoke to a sold-out crowd of 750 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Tuesday night. Brokaw was there to promote his new book and give an insider’s perspective on the Reagan years and present political climate in America. Brokaw said that the upcoming election looked “pretty bleak” for Sen. John McCain but added that McCain had already overcome several obstacles to clinch the GOP nomination, and that it was too early to predict an outcome. Of Obama, who he called “lightning in a bottle” Brokaw said that America really doesn’t know the [one-term] Senator yet.
