Here's a brief example of my interview with Alabama Governor Bob Riley tonight (actually a pre-interview chat):

Me: “You might be surprised to find I'm actually a member of the media that's Republican.”
Gov. Riley: “Wear your seat belts, drive carefully, don't eat spicy foods. I need to keep you around.”

He is a very nice and gracious man. I was the only television reporter/photographer there tonight. The guys back at the station told me to hang on to that interview, so I made a copy of it and threw it into my briefcase. Why? Because it's almost impossible to get a one-on-one interview with him. Score!

Every other station will be at the press conference tomorrow morning. I beat everyone to the story. Thank you, Governor Riley!
