New Yorker at heart

.... My wife knows what I am and that I never lost my desire for public service. Not like I woke up one morning and said, 'I think I'll try for public service.' It's part of who I am. I've always looked for ways to contribute. I'm into philanthropy. I teach at NYU. I work with Fox News. I'm on a leadership council. It's not the action I miss. Corny and idealist as it sounds, I care about educating kids, raising taxes, health benefits, and I care that, to me, this country is going down a wrong road.

"As for my wife, she makes me smile. She humanizes me. I never thought I'd do it, but she has me walking her tiny Chihuahua who's 11, even though I get funny looks. Fabby, by the way, is a New York creature. Tough. Takes on every big dog that comes near her. And we both love our neighborhood. Places like Rosa Mexicana, Starbucks, BLT Fish or, after church, First Presbyterian on 12th and Fifth, it's Big Daddy's on Park and 20th. They do great fried chicken."

Yeah, yeah, but what makes a dude from Tennessee think he can take on New York?

"That lady from Illinois did it, and that man from Massachusetts did it. That's the story of so many other Americans who come to this town to live out their dreams. New York is a city of transients. I love its energy, its attitude, everything about it. The idea of my running surfaced through friends. It was they who mentioned it. It started casually in the spring when Carolyn Maloney was gearing up.

"Now I've taken a 45-day unpaid leave of absence from my job at Merrill Lynch. It's not right to draw a salary when I'm out every day campaigning. Fortunately, I've still got a little NYU teaching job and some MSNBC, so for a while I think I can put food on the table." ....
