Whoever owns this blog, I would like to say that he has a great idea of choosing a topic.
I didn't always agree with Tim's analysis, but the guy was a consumate professional and he always had data to back up his statements. I will miss him especially during this political season where I was looking forward to getting his take on the campaigns.
My sympathy goes out to his family and friends. He will be leaving a large hole, both in the world of news and I'm sure in his personal circle of life.
