It is with great sadness that I have to make this post: Tim Russert - host of NBC's "Meet The Press" - passed away due to heart failure on Friday.
I idolized Tim Russert - and like most American's - I saw him as a piller of political knowledge. If Tim said it - you knew it was legit.
Perhaps his most memorable moment came in the 2000 election between George Bush and Al Gore. The electoral vote was swaying back and forth between Gore and Bush, and the high tech graphics at NBC News couldn't keep up. That's where Tim came in: a throwback to a white board - breaking down the raw numbers with a marker so that everyone watching could understand. (The clip is at about 2:45):
We'll miss you Tim...
