His son just graduated from Boston College this year; I can't imagine losing a father, especially at that age.

I know you wouldn't. I'll admit I should have chosen better words...misprint definitely describes it better.

To echo Honeykiss, yes, the Elections just won't be the same.

The thought just crossed my mind that Heaven got a little better for my mom today. She watched Meet the Press religiously too and really liked his style. She can talk to him first hand now.

I am absolutely stunned. Did he have a history of heart trouble??

I'm so stunned. I wake up early on Sunday morning just to watch Meet the Press. If I couldn't watch due to church, I would tape it. Tim Russert was always neutral and I'm really going to miss his commentary.

Meet the Press just won't be the same...what a loss!

No matter your political affiliation, we are all alot poorer for losing out on his frank insight for the rest of this election. I was sooo looking forward to his dry erase board breakdown of the electoral votes. Listening to the eulogies from his collegues, competitors, and politicians, he was universally respected. Sunday mornings won't be the same
