The list of people who know as much about American politics as Michael Barone is very short. The list of people who know more than he is nonexistent — a blank. Barone is my guest on Q&A.
I ask him about conventions. (Are they the right length? What are they for?) I ask him about primaries. (Should there be open ones?) I ask him about the nominating process in general. (Is there a better way to run this railroad?) I ask him about political parties. (Is a two-party system wise?) I ask him about presidents. (Who are your favorites and why?) And more.
If you’re politics-minded, you’ll want to hear Michael Barone, at length. You get an hour of him on this podcast (again, here).
Incidentally, Michael is my fellow Michigander. As I remark at the outset of the show, it’s nice to have a guest, at last, who doesn’t have an accent.
P.S. Our Mark Antonio Wright happens to be in Michigan this weekend. He wrote me that his fiancée remarked, “Everyone here sounds like Jay.” That’s English, baby!
