#2 Ratings win out:
Ratings-wise, all the numbers are on Cooper's side. Clearly, he's got the Big Mo.

In October, the hours that Cooper anchored - 7, 10 and 11 p.m. - showed major increases from a year earlier, particularly among the 25- to 54-year-olds advertisers covet.

Let us count the ways.

At 7 p.m., Cooper's "360" averaged 811,000 total viewers, up 36 percent over October 2004, says Nielsen Media Research. (Still, he was far behind Fox News Channel's Shepard Smith.)

At 10 p.m., the Cooper-Brown "NewsNight" clocked 813,000 viewers - a 4 percent spike compared with Brown's solo performance a year before. And at 11, "NewsNight" averaged 570,000 viewers, up 27 percent.

#3 My guess is that Brown's going to surface next as a Democratic speechwriter. Which really won't be much of a change.

#6 He was an arrogant, smug, condescending turd of a reporter.

I can't have been the only one who commented to that effect, more than once, on the feedback at the CNN website.

I'm guessin' that they read those comments

#9 Jon Stewart of The Daily Show on Comedy Central? The one whose best laugh lines nowadays are just the names of senior members of the Bush administration said with a comic strip double take? Not for me, thanks.
