Worked for a political TV station for 10 years including two election years.  Part of my job was to watch the House and Senate daily.  I went to New Hampshire for the primaries and two conventions.  Worked on a live daily show across the street from the Capitol and met many prominent political figures including four former Presidents.  I also worked on a few history series such as a President's and a Writer's Tour.  Later worked for a video company that produced video lectures on many subjects including political history.
