Luke Russert joins NBC News in his first assignment for Decision 2008 as correspondent at large for the conventions, focusing on youth issues. Luke Russert recently graduated from Boston College with a double major in History and Communications. Since March of 2006, he has co-hosted the critically acclaimed sports radio talk show “60/20 Sports” with political pundit James Carville on XM Satellite Radio. On “60/20 Sports” he has interviewed the likes of former President Clinton, former President George Bush, Bill Russell, Cal Ripken Jr. and Lance Armstrong. Luke is the son of the late Tim Russert and of Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth.

NBC News President Steve Capus said “Never before in an election cycle has so much attention turned to the youth vote, and Luke will bring a unique perspective to covering it.” Said Luke: “I am extremely humbled and grateful that NBC News is giving me this opportunity. I believe youth issues will continue to play a significant role during this election and I want to do my part to report them honestly and objectively.”

Capitol Hill Revolving Door

Patrick — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:24:52 +0000

From Roll Call Editorial Assistant Dan Heim:

Thanks to everyone here at Roll Call Group for a fantastic 18 months. I have learned a ton and I know the experience and skills and relationships I have gained will be an asset down the road — and, I hope, to the Obama campaign over the next three-plus months. Thanks to the copy desk in all the various formulations I encountered it for being such a fun and laid-back crew to work with; to the reporters and editors who, in addition to helping me develop in Around the Hill, allowed me to get outside of it on occasion and write some politics and news stories toward the “front of the book”; and to everyone at GW, CN, Rothenberg and the business side who were great to encounter at softball, Congressional baseball games, lunches, etc.

From The Hill’s Jessica Holzer:

Today is my last day at The Hill and I just wanted to pass on my new contact information.

On Monday, I start a new job as a financial regulation reporter at Dow Jones. I will be covering many of the same financial industry issues I do now, though with a sharper focus on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the federal response to the housing mess.

Inky — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:52:28 +0000

The most recent edition of the Post’s Date Lab actually ends with a second date. This brings the total ratio of 38 successful dates out of a total of 101, or just under 38 percent.

And, now, Washingtonian is launching “Dating Diaries” with freelancer Kelly DiNardo. “Washingtonian.com is looking for area residents who are willing to share their dating adventures over the course of the next several months. If youâ€™re willing to dish about your dates on a regular basis (and maybe take some dating challenges along the way!) we want to hear from you.”
