A Washington Big Shot from Louisiana

Charlie Cook is the political insider’s guru in Washington, D.C.  The Cook Political Report is a must read for all who traverse Capitol Hill, and Charlie has become one of the most respected political observers in the country.  He happens to be from Shreveport, and our mothers played bridge together for many years.   Charlie and I both participated in the Washington Ideas Forum sponsered by the Atlantic Magazine last week in Washington.  Instead of being a Washington Big Shot, he tells me he would much rather be back home in Louisiana.  Charlie will be a guest of my radio show the Sunday beforwe the big November 2nd election.
