As a matter of fact, even when I finished law school, I had no notion of public service then.

I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school. And so when I got to the point where I could give up the night job, I joined the political club.

I don't find myself sitting up nights saying, whom should I support?
