My friend Claire Zulkey has a wonderful and well-read blog which features interviews on many Fridays. She was generous enough to interview me this past Friday December 7; that provided an awful lot of questions and answers which you can read here.
Here’s a sample:
How would you say you’re like your average politician? And how would you say you’re not at all?
One of those questions is really easy to answer: I’m nerdier, skinnier, mumblier, more honest, and far more prone to long pauses in mid-conversation than pretty much any other politician I know. Oh, and did I mention that I’m not a lawyer?
On the other hand, I stay up late at night thinking about which precincts to target and whose door to knock on and which issue to highlight and how to get the next endorsement. I think the intensely compulsive aspect of this enterprise is pretty universal.
Feel free to check out the whole thing!
