...... .. About Me
In a word: I’m a workaholic; at least that’s what I’m told by, well, people who don’t seem to work as much. My greatest asset in this business is luck, plain and simple. And to make your own luck, you have to work at it; hence my workaholic tendencies. Makes perfect sense to me…
Me on the Decision 08 Road:
What I’ve learned on the campaign trail: The art of packing light.
What I WANT to learn on the campaign trail: To be as good as my colleagues.
Best thing I’ve witnessed: The enthusiasm of those not even old enough to vote.
Worst thing I’ve witnessed: The press plane pulling away without me.
Funniest thing I’ve seen: Babies that look like beach balls being passed for a candidate to kiss.
Scariest thing I’ve seen: Babies actually being TREATED like beach balls as they’re passed for a candidate to kiss.
Best campaign meal: Cheese fries at 7 in the morning.
Biggest regret: The toll the trail has taken on my liver.
Biggest goal: To cover history right.
Biggest shortfall: Not always meeting my goal.
