Surprise to think about that actually knows anything about texas politics, but i think the Biggest Surprise for me living here in texas is why has there not been more talk about were in texas, and two new yorkers are running for president . I dont think that should be allowed. Last time since duy versus dewey versus roosevelt. One book, how texas might eventually become a twoparty democracy [laughter] [applause] with the emphasis on the word might, and one book about the whole idea of how you organize events in campaigns and in people in office and just how incredibly complex that is and how important it is with a veteran who has a lot to say about that, especially about things that dont go right. If you remember mike due cacing kiss and the tank mike dukakis and the tank.

The candidates seeking office. , a lot ofly stunning effort is being put into the sheer mechanics of raising money. Host sarah from vernon, new york on the independent line. Caller good morning, how are you . Guest hello. Caller i would like you to explain to the American Public what a call center is. From what i understand, listening to 60 minutes and different programs like that, a senator or representative is required to spend two hours a day calling their constituents to raise money for their party. , if they spent two hours a day trying to pass bills for the American Public. That ive been watching news for a long time and ive never heard about call centers until this year when 60 took us into them and show them what they look like.

I do not know if he knew what he would be eyeing into, six and a half years of fighting the government over my job. Lee rowland was the last attorney from the aclu representing me over the last couple of years. Part of the deal when we were negotiating the settlement, i have a sub rosette agreement with lee because after talking to an attorney from the aclu every week for the last 6. 5 years, i could not go cold turkey. Job. Id a remarkable in the beginning it was aden abdo and there the aclupitzer,with in washington for a long time and stood me faithfully for six and a half years. The law firm of goodwin and proctor. They offered their services pro bono to assist as we moved toward court.
