My 18 months as a surrogate speaker for the Mondale campaign, and member of the Platform Committee of the DNC gave me delusions of grandeur. I could see my name in lights, as I punched and counterpunched in debates before local Democratic clubs, at friendly fundraisers, at the Platform Committee meetings in D.C., and delivering talking points - given me by Madeleine Albright - to meetings of state delegations during the San Francisco nominating convention of 1984.
But those same glory days also gave me a glimpse of the life of an M.C. The following two slides - from a DCCC presentation to new members of the House of Representatives - illustrate why I never took a step in the direction of elective office. - GWC
