About Me
For a political junkie like me, this campaign is amazing -- especially since I've covered both Clintons since before they ever ran for the White House the first time. after watching Hillary Clinton as first lady -- and even being on that famous flight to bosnia -- I'm loving being a witness to history again.

This time, on top of traveling with the candidates and covering the debates, I also have my own show on MSNBC at 1 o’clock every day - where I get to discuss the race with candidates, surrogates, campaign strategists, and our own terrific team. And in addition to our NBC broadcasts, I can give extra background on Morning Joe and Hardball.

It seems incredible, but the first time I covered a national political convention was back in 1972. I started out in Philadelphia reporting on local and state politics before moving to Washington in 1976. And I've covered every administration since Jimmy Carter. So it's fun to compare how things have changed. In fact, I think the use of the internet this year by both Democratic candidates is the most revolutionary change since the Reagan folks transformed campaigns with "direct mail" back in 1980.
