advantage ask groups interest legislator number
I do know that there are a number of interest groups that will go through a legislator to take advantage of what the legislator can ask for.
attractive capital century coming families good less likely news opposed people problem seem tend ways work
The good news in some ways is that we seem to be attractive to young families with kids. The problem is the people coming in tend to have less capital at their disposal. They're less educated. They're more likely to work in 20th century as opposed to 21st century jobs.
anybody believe committed credible gotta hear looking magic trust truthful
I don't know anybody who has magic. They gotta trust you and you gotta trust them. If they don't trust you, they'll never believe anything you say. You have to be credible and forthright. You may say something they won't like to hear but you have to tell them, that's the truth. They want me to be truthful just like I want them to be truthful with me. I want to know they're committed and they want to know I'm committed. We're looking for the same things.

(Miami) is a university where you can go win a national championship. Certainly any coach would be attracted to that. There are an awful lot of positives there. I think I'm a legitimate candidate. It would be a very, very attractive job to me.
closer finished spit
But usually I just spit it out there and it comes out in a way that you've never said it before and you're closer to having it finished or whatever.
pedal
I want to see points. We're going to have the pedal down.

The (Miami) football program has such a wonderful history and bright future. I'll also be working for a man whom people have tremendous respect for as both a coach and a person.

But I generally just work things out on stage, because you're just going to say things up there differently than you would type them.
bit few stage
I had been on stage a little bit with bands, and I had had a few little stage experiences in college, but I wasn't seasoned on stage by any stretch.
