Had to laugh when I heard one of your post-interview commenters say that Dudley wouldn't be indebted to "special interests." You should have called him on that. Whoever gives money to Dudley's campaign represents a special interest all right -- that of the industry or business they represent. On the other hand perhaps it's time to do away with this term "special interest." For once I agree with Ayn Rand -- when everyone is special, then no one is.
