I might be on TV today.

I did my part and voted this morning at 11:15, and lo and behold there's Chris Vanocur all dressed up with a camera guy hanging out and interviewing people. I've met Chris before, but I didn't know if he'd remember me. So I said hello, and he then asked if he could interview me about the polls. But really, I don't think he remembered me.

I agreed to do a short interview, but I honestly have not been catching up on the race much, or Mitt Romney news for that matter and I was a bit afraid that Vanocur would ask me detailed questions about the Mormon presidential candidate. I did okay, but if they show me on KTVX I hope I sound intelligent enough on my opinions about the candidates and who I voted for. I voted for Obama. Then he asked me why I didn’t vote for Romney, which was the only Romney question I got. I just said because I am a Democrat. That was a safe answer. Oh, then Vanocur asked who Radio From Hell would vote for and all that came out of my mouth was, “Well, it won’t be Hillary!”, and honestly I don’t even know if that’s true. Sometimes I have trouble being put on the spot, but now I am going to be a slave to news reading and watching so I can be on top of things about the latest events. As a DJ, I should anyway. I remember talking to Bill Allred on the air back in 1993, and he said, “Portia, read my lips!” I just looked at him blankly and had no idea what he was talking about. I felt like the biggest idiot that day!
