Election electricity

There is nothing like the atmosphere inside a newsroom on election night.

The usual hectic pace is ramped up several notches. It's exciting and exasperating at the same time. For journalists, it's the Super Bowl or the World Series.

Tonight I'm over at the KBMT12 studio chipping in with political commentary from time to time.

News flash: TV is different from newspapers.

The time elements are shorter, and it's live. There are no rewrites or corrections.

If you say something dumb, it's out there forever.

So as a newbie to the TV biz, I'm hoping to keep my foot out of my mouth tonight.

So far, so good ... but the night is young.
