Luke Russert Follows his Dad’s Footsteps
Four months after his father, journalist and moderator of NBC's Meet the Press Tim Russert died of a heart attack, son Luke Russert is fast following his dad’s huge legendary footsteps. All eyes were on the 23-year-old Boston grad who covers youth issues for the upcoming elections by acting as correspondent of NBC News.

"I'm signed up through August 2009 so I'll continue to report on youth's issues,” the younger Russert told OK! Magazine, "I'm actually looking forward to the election being over so we can see what actually happens with these promises candidates are making.  Both candidates have made a lot of promises to young folks but there's a lot of financial constraints that might limit them."
