I watched this last week, some great insights into DC and the way things work there.

1:45 PM 1 hr, 7 min Sammy's House
Author: Kristin Gore

...from the Commonwealth Club, Kristin Gore, daughter of Al and Tipper Gore, discusses her upbringing as the daughter of a Vice President, including how she coped with secret service protection and her father's unsuccessful 2000 campaign for president. Kristin Gore drew on her experiences in Washington in writing her new novel, "Sammy's House," about a White House health care adviser.


"I assumed they would count the votes... I mean, I just assumed they would!."
Talking about the effect 2000 had on her idealistic view of politics...

1. She was great! So down to earth, serious and funny at the same time.

Thanks for the alert! Hope it runs again so folks can see her. Loved her story about how the WH Thanksgiving Turkey is sedated now because one flew up in Ronny Reagan's face while he was pardoning it. :D
