When I first took the plunge and began a career in politics against the advice of my conservative father, I worked for people like Tennessee’s Lamar! Alexander, former Congressman Jim Nussle, and John McCain during his 2000 campaign for President.
Yes, I was a Republican. But I was young and everyone experiments at that age -- I just happened to pick the GOP before making better, more adult choices.
For political junkies like me, our Democratic and Republican national conventions are, to quote Vice President Biden, “a big f@#king deal.”
