It Pains Me That Tim Won't Get To See Who Wins This Historic Election. He Was So Excited...

I can only hope that in someway, that we here on Earth will never understand, he's still able to follow it as it progresses and he's up there with is projection map, still making his predictions and painting states blue and red.

R.I.P. Tim, you will be forever missed.

[GCP]

1. With his white board and markers!

We'll miss you,Tim.

[SharonRB]

2. That was one of my first thoughts, too

It's such a historic election, and he never got to see the outcome. Very tragic.

[TwilightGardener]

3. I feel bad about that too--he lived for this election season, it seemed.

4. I always liked him on MTP.

I might be only a few that did.I just really started paying more attention to him in the past weeks.I remember watching him on the night Obama won in North Carolina.This clip right here:

6. I thought of that too.

I had even given thought lately about him on election night.

7. same here. The thought of that is depressing

[babylonsister]

8. Yep, that went through my mind, too. nt

[tyne]

9. He'll see it.

[tekisui]

10. He knew who will win it.

He didn't get to see it, but he knew who.

[Willo]

11. I was just telling someone about that.

You could tell he enjoyed talking about those maps, the possibilities and the differences between McCain and Obama.

[Egnever]

13. This must have been a wonderful season for him

Sometimes the best endings are the ones that leave it up to your imagination.

Godspeed Tim

14. Yes it was ... the very last time I saw him on TV

was last week when he was telling Tweety (I think) about his upcoming MTP show and he was discussing his all-star panel of MSNBC reporters to talk about what they learned during Primary Season.

[Kahuna]

15. Me too. Especially since he seemed to genuinely like Obama. Maybe

he was looking forward to seeing America's first AA president. How sad he won't. :cry:

[Patsy Stone]

16. Agreed n/t

[NorthAmerican]

17. I agree. It is all very, very saddening. n/t

[Raine]

18. Yes, that adds to the saddness of it

this is going to be one of the most exciting elections and he won't get to see how it comes out. :-( I know that I would be devastated if I thought I wouldn't be here for the outcome.
