Saturday 1/19/08

I've always said I'd rather work hard for 8 hours than have an easy 2 hour day. This was one of those easy unfullfilling days. It's primary day in Columbia SC and it's raining. The only thing worse than being wet is being cold and wet. We were supposed to get a mixture of sleet and snow. Neither materialized. Just rain. We hit a polling place around two, knocked out a couple of interviews with voters and uplinked our report. Our assignment tonight was GOP HQ. This was the worst place to be on election night. No one goes to GOP HQ except the media and the GOP Chair. In a word, BORING. McCain was in Charleston...Romney and R.Paul were in Nevada, Huckabee and Thompson were in Columbia and Hugh Cort went home to Alabama. Ten hours, 8 live shots and a package later we're looking forward to having Sunday off.
