One night that November I got a rare invitation to appear on a local TV news show to discuss the electoral college with some other panelists. One of them was a young state senator I had never heard of. I don't remember what he said, but he struck me as appreciably more impressive than the average state legislator.

He looked at me and said, "why are you crying? this is a day for glory." I am still crying."
