That evening of November 1996, after the election results were in, my girlfriend of a little over a year said, “…I’m glad you lost. If you had won you would not have had any time for me.” 12 years later, that woman is my wife of 10 years and mother of our two children.

Conrad…..I did win. I won big. And I won something that I don’t have to worry about someone trying to take away from me every four years.

And C.J.: I see you are putting your kid to work writing comments.
