UPDATED 3:02 p.m. - Tom Brokaw just went on the air to confirm the death of Tim Russert who was 58 years old, and who collapsed at NBC's Washington Bureau this afternoon. Again, NBC confirms the death of Tim Russert.

Other sources report that Russert was in the NBC DC Bureau today at about 1 p.m. conducting an MSNBC online question and answer session...here you might see the last thing he wrote...

Russert: I think he’s on the list. South Carolina is a solid state, but McCain really likes his passion and his ability to be on the attack against the Democrats on these foreign policy issues. I think Biden is someone who’s very much on Obama’s list because of his wealth of foreign policy experience, his knowledge of the Iran and the Iraq. It’ll be interesting. They’re both coming into the studio. It could be an vice presidential audition. A Meet the Press audition, coming your way Sunday, on Meet the Press!

We're not sure how long that page will stay up, however. Our resident tv newsguy, Don Elkins tells us that he is sad for NBC's loss. He'll have an editorial here in a little bit on Tim's passing.

CBS News is telling it's affiliate stations that NBC Political chief and host of "Meet The Press" Tim Russert has died from an apparent heart attack today. NY Post also reporting same. Details to come.
