"There are only two ways to make it in big-time politics today: One is to come on like a mean dinosaur, with a high-powered machine that scares the shit out of your entrenched opposition (like Daley or Nixon)...and the other is to tap the massive, frustrated energies of a mainly young, disillusioned electorate that has long since abandoned the idea that we all have a duty to vote."
Hunter Thompson wrote those words in 1972. Sound familiar?
Another gem from Thompson. Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'll have to try and make it to an inklings event one of these Tuesday nights.
