More Election Talk

Well, the Iowa caucuses are over. Mike Huckabee took the lead over the other candidates, while Barack Obama came through for the Democrats.

During last night's 11pm newscast, we were fortunate enough to get part of Obama's victory speech live on the air, thanks to the quick work of our technical crew and TD, Adam Theoharis.

The next stop for everyone will be New Hampshire. It's the first primary of the season and who knows what will happen there.

In my last blog, I wrote about how this will be an exciting and maybe even suspenseful campaign.

At the time, I forgot how exciting and suspenseful the 2000 race was. Sitting here in the control room of WUSA, I have witnessed many important and even historic events. The 2000 race was one for the books. I remember being in the director's chair until 3 or 4 am in the morning. The race twisted and turned almost on the hour as Bush was declared the winner and then Gore.

It was such a wild ride here in the control room that when I finally got off the air, I went home and had to jog a few miles just to get all the adrenaline out!

Again, this November will prove very interesting and entertaining.

Speaking of entertaining, guess what was the most watched broadcast last week?

It wasn't anything written by the writers, that's for sure!

Saturday's game between the Giants and Patriots was # 2. The number 1 broadcast of the week was the Tennessee Titans verses the Indianapolis Colts.

Both games were action packed and great to watch!

Scripted shows?? Who needs scripted shows?? Ok, I still do!
