I am in absolute shock. Our public affairs office did some work with NBC and Tim seemed really cool. It was cool to work with some marketing campaigns with
them.
WOW. I don't know what to say. |

Wow.
HUGE story. He's hands-down one of the best analysts out there in the political game. Truly sad and shocking and almost beyond belief. That's one guy who we can safely say will be impossible to replace.

So surreal that I'm watching the U.S. Open [golf] and they haven't yet mentioned his passing.
How did TMZ get the scoop on NBC? |

I wonder if the long plane ride contributed to this. Since it wasn't a heart attack

I'm going to have to watch Chris Matthews tonight, it's probably going to be really emotional. I can't believe this, I am huge into politics and he
has always been a constant. He was just the best as what he did.

I feel so bad for his family. Apparently he just had to put his father in a home. Tim died before his father. I feel so bad for his wife and son, too. It is
also sad that he won't be able to cover the most historical election that we have ever seen.

My mom just said, "He died not knowing who the next president was."
