Host of NBC's Meet the Press and bestselling author died today in his DC office. Having met Russert, I can tell you the Tim Russert you saw in front of the camera was the same one I met in the Iowa snow when the cameras were off. Russert gained national notoriety for his use of a plain whiteboard during election night in 2000 to explain the increasingly complicated electoral math. He also drew wide praise for his 2004 book about his father, "Big Russ and Me". Russert leaves behind a wife, son, and his father- Big Russ. Please pray for the Russert family during this time of sorrow.
