Lessons from Lamar

I was looking thru Lamar Alexander's Little Plaid Book and found some good quotes I thought I'd share with you:

- "If you don't have time to hear a story about someone else's grandchild, you're probably not the kind of person who ought to serve in office.

- "Write thank you notes promptly and in longhand."

- "Remember names as if the election depends on it. It does."

- "Spend time with voters and not too much time with political big shots. Big shots can defeat you, but they can't elect you."
