Christine Todd Whitman was elected New Jersey's first female governor in '93. She appointed the state's first African American Supreme Court Justice and its first female attorney general. As a result of her strong environmental record, she was tapped to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Now president of an energy and environmental issues consulting firm, Whitman remains active in GOP politics, including co-chairing the Republican Leadership Council, which supports fiscally conservative candidates.

Tim Russert is one of the most influential journalists of the day - and one of the busiest. He's managing editor and moderator of Meet the Press, the longest-running program in the history of TV. He's also NBC News Washington bureau chief, a political analyst for Today and anchor of CNBC's The Tim Russert Show. He found time to write a best-selling memoir, Big Russ & Me, that chronicles lessons learned from his #1 hero - his dad. Russert's most recent book is Wisdom of Our Fathers.
