And there were a couple things I know you wanted to say about the 1990 election, but let’s start with this question: what was it about that election, do you think looking back at it now, that made the difference for you and your campaign? Edgar: First of all, I don’t think I should have won that election. People wanted a change. We had had a Republican administration for fourteen years. His [Gov.
