In my humble opinion, it seems that Tim was a very "straight up" kinda guy who truly respected all political viewpoints, but was honest and not a "push over" with any political figure. Regardless of his own political viewpoint, he seemed to be able to set that aside and be fair with everyone.
What are your views, experiences, rememberences of Tim and his career?

I think that Tim was one of the best in the business (if not the best ever). Many people have said that you couldn't tell who side he was on, because he asked the tough questions of everyone. The research on his show was the best in the industry, and he was never unprepared. He always asked the questions that no one else would, but he did it in an honest, and thought way. The difference between him, and the rest of the industry is he only used the facts, and even when he had someone up against the wall, he never went in for the kill. He allowed the viewers to determine in the person he was interviewing was believable, and he never attacked anyone. I feel for his family, who they say he was very close to, I listened to Sean Hannity yesterday talk about how great of a guy Russert was, and how close he was to his son. I have listen to his book Big Rus, and I recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about being a parent, and a father. We will all miss him, and I hope that the person that takes the spot after him, will follow in his footsteps. I will be impossible to replace him.
