Career Background I started nailing up signs when I worked for Mayor Moon Landrieu of New Orleans, and I have been in and around politics ever since.
Personal Information I grew up in Louisiana, went to high school in Pittsburgh, returned to New Orleans for college, and came to Washington in 1986.
Claim to Fame Foolishly driving through the Watts riot in 1965.
Best Day The day I walked into the weight room and didn't feel embarrassed.
Worst Day The day my dad died.
Ten Years From Now Traveling the world, but still having the opportunity to work on selected campaigns.
Career Goals Not to let myself get out of shape like I do every campaign cycle.
Secrets of Success Preparation, preparation, preparation.
Biggest Gripe Horn blowers, people who run red lights (I'm trying to break the habit) and the lack of civility that permeates our society.
Predictions One of the two major parties will split in two, forming a third party.
Political Heroes
Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
Favorite Books Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer and Amazing Grace by Lee Smith.
Favorite Movies "MASH" and "The Producers"
Best Moment in a Campaign The time I predicted in debate prep what the trick question would be, and luckily the question was asked.
Worst Moment in a Campaign Arriving at the post office with political mail that I had printed incorrectly and being told, "There's no way we can send this mail bulk rate." Luckily the post master was Irish and lived in my neighborhood. I made a new friend that day.
If I Were President for a Day Get rid of all the limos and scrub those damned presidential motorcades.
