13 QUESTIONS

Our 13 Questions logo.

1. The Biden resurgence recently. Have you seen anything like it before?

Not really. You can compare it to John Kerry in 2004 and John McCain in 2008 when both were floundering. But in both case, even after making a comeback, there was no exit from the opponents like you saw this time. In the course of two days, the field was cleared down to two. The speed and quickness of this, well that is something I didn’t see coming or have seen before.

2. If Biden does win the nomination, any guesses on his pick for Veep?

Not at this point but I can say this. Biden will have an embarrassment of riches to choose from when he does try to pick a running mate. Each candidate with the exception of a few can be seen as a reasonable alternative to Mike Pence, Paul Ryan in 2012 and Sarah Palin in 2008. There is not a questionable one in the bunch. All have been vetted and are qualified.

3. Will the Pennsylvania primary be crucial on April 28th or will it be an after thought?

A lot of that will depend on what happens tomorrow in Michigan and future states. Ronald Reagan in 1976 was beaten pretty well until the Texas primary which came later in the cycle. After that, he almost caught up to President Ford.

4 . Do you have any thoughts on why Matt Cartwright has been the focal point of GOP attacks and do they think he is vulnerable?

The GOP Congressional committee never got real serious with opposition to Cartwright until Trump carried Pennsylvania. Then with redistricting, the 8th became a little more competitive. That’s the main reason why I feel they are going after him.

5. What do you think of the New York Yankees hiring a batting coach who happens to be a woman?

I think it is fabulous and about time. I was a little surprised to se the Yanks do so because they were slow in integrating men of color. It’s a good move.

6. Do you get to listen t the radio at work and if so, what do you tune in? I bet it’s Talk Radio!

Ha!. Hope you didn’t bet anything. No I listen to WVIA FM, WRTI FM (two classical stations, The River and Max 102. I also have CDs that I put in once in a while too. But whatever it is, the decibels are low.

7. Do you think tribute bands have been done to death?

God yes. The exception to that rule though is our friend Beatlle Edd’s Sinatra show coming up in My at The Kirby.

8. If you were B arack Obama, when his >Library opens, would you invite Donald Trump?

Hell no. Pence maybe, not old Diaper Don though.

9. Lent is here. Giving anything up?

Nope.

10. St. Patrick’s Day meal favorite. Corned Beef or Ham with your cabbage?

Can I have both?

11. Do you think Bloomberg’s campaign was a bust?

For him, I guess. I think he had a lot of baggage to begin with and got caught unprepared. But I won’t be sending him any checks.

12. I hear you’re upset Susan Collin might lose her seat?

You heard wrong.

13. Are you ready for the RailRiders?

Yep season tickets bought and ready to enjoy.
