It was shocking this afternoon to get a breaking news alert from cnn.com that Tim Russert had died at the age of 58. Further information was that he collasped at his offices in the NBC Washington Bureau and died of a sudden heart attack.
I was watching MSNBC coverage of the May 6 primary, I think, when North Carolina went big for Obama and Indiana was just a close win for Hillary and Russert proclaimed, We now know who the Democratic Nominee for President will be and no one can dispute it. Of course Hillary and her camp disputed it - but it so endeared Tim to me, having the preferences that I do. I had come to look forward to his analysis the most of all, on election nights. So - he will be greatly missed!
