A couple of weeks ago I received a surprise phone call from the head news guy at WTSP 10 News, Peter Roghaar. He asked if I would be interested in being their political analyst for the 2010 election cycle. I said I would - we met- and the handshake deal was done. I'm thrilled.
A little background: When I was at WFLA-TV for 27 years, I focused my reporting on local and state politics. I was -and am- a political junkie. I learned when covering Florida politics - when you think you have figured it out, you're usually wrong. So now, when I have formed an opinion on a particular race or party I go back and re-think it. That's the approach I'll take at 10-News.
This is going to be a fascinating election cycle and I hope I can bring some clarity to it. I look forward to working with the folks at News 10. They are bright, nice and fun. If you can't have fun doing something you love - why do it?

Wow! So happy for you AND Channel 10. What a smart, wise decision on their part. I guess we won't be seeing anymore 'opinions', but hopefully you'll post some behind the scene glances. Congratulations. Well-deserved!
