Sort of wish Tim Russert was alive to witness this
Whether you liked him or not, he was Mr. Politics. I am sure he has a smile on his face after witnessing history tonight.

4. I think Tim and Hunter both witnessed it
and I'm pretty sure they'd be delighted in their own unique ways

5. did you see him after Obama won enough delegates to get the nomination ?
he did feel it was a historical moment.
