Yesterday, unbeknownst to me until the very end of my flight from Denver to DC, I sat next to
Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY). I sensed he was a Republican from the way he glared at my
Jim Carville book and from the title of the magazine article he was reading - "Will the GOP run the table in Nevada?" - but neither of us struck up a conversation during the three hour flight. What questions should I have asked the Senator, had I known who he was?
