It is really a shame that the great Tim Russert is no longer with us. He would be loving this political battle and providing all of us with some great coverage and insight.
Also, just as an aside. If Palin could have went onto MTP and stood up to some tough (and fair) questioning (that Tim was the master at) about the issues and her record it could have really changed a lot of minds about her.

Tim's political leanings seemed a little too far to the left for my tastes, but I always found something about him refreshing and easy to relate to. His death was very sad. I kind of miss seeing him on TV in an odd way--I never really watched Meet The Press or anything like that frequently, but there was just something about him that I liked.

True that Tim was a democrat but he never let his own political views get in the way of his interviews. He was always tough but fair. Everyone knew what to expect when prepping for his show. If you had ANY inconsistencies in your positions over time he would find them!

I watched his show more then the others, never really knew which party he belonged to or leaned towards and didn't really care. I thought he was more then fair in his questions. His show was a good one IMO.
