Showdown: Ron Paul vs. Tim Russert on NBC's Meet the Press--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Republican dark horse candidate Ron Paul will finally get his shot at making some headway on a nationally televised network show. He will sit for an hour long one on one question and answer session with veteran political reporter Tim Russert. Expect the questions to be pointed and difficult.
Showdown: Ron Paul vs. Tim Russert on Meet the Press (NBC)
Russert is usually a fair interviewer but he has a good staff and digs deep to try and catch candidates off guard. He poses tough questions and even made a few headlines of his own earlier this year when he nailed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on the now defunct drivers license for illegal immigrants plan that was pushed by New York governor Elliott Spitzer.
Russert pushed Hillary to the limit and made her look foolish as she stumbled and bumbled her way through the answers. Her husband Bill would later complain that Russert was too tough on hi "unflappable" wife and in a conference call later in the week one Hillary supporter would say that Russert 'needs to be shot" for asking Hillary anything difficult.
That's the guy that Dr. Paul will face Sunday morning. Russert will have more than a few ways he will allow the interview to proceed, but he will also have more than one questions designed for that "gotcha' moment. I believe he will be fair, but he will also be tough as nails. This will not be a repeat of the Glenn beck CNN one hour special earlier this week.
Russert is a pro, Ron Paul will need to bring his "A-game." Times for the broadcast are here. Set the TiVo, this could be one of those moments you don't want to miss.

My prediction
Ron Paul = Truth
Tim Russert = Mop
Meet the Press = The Floor
