Lawton Chiles

What's the perfect meal to eat after an election defeat?


Three Budwiesers and a plate of enchiladas. . . Unlike Bill Clinton I lost twenty pounds during my campaign. Big Macs didn't seem as tasty as they do now. I was living on adrenaline and coffee.

The day after the campaign you actually ran into your opponent, Lawton Chiles, on the street and shook his hand. Was that a difficult hand to shake?

It was intuitive. That's something I learned at my mother's knee. Twenty years ago you would have made the news for not doing it. Now, you make the news for doing it.
