Novick got the crowd fired up before the tryptophan set in. I've seen him speak in public on a few other occasions, and i have to say this. As a candidate, he's more charming than charismatic. But when he talks, like a major league slugger, he connects. His message truly resonates with progressives like myself (until recently, i was registered with the Oregon Green Party).
Steve Novick also has a natural affinity for the working class. His father was a union organizer who, as a young man, left Brooklyn for the South to fight for civil rights. Steve's mother dropped out of college when she had her first child (Steve). She became one of the first Head Start teachers, and then spent many years as a waitress in Cottage Grove. After seeing that her kids went to college, she later went back to school herself, earning a Ph.D. and became a researcher on early childhood education.

are you trying to suggest my girth is enough to swallow poor dimunitive Steve?
I support the guy, but I won't eat him.
The first text i was playing with went something like, "I like Steve so much, I could just eat him!" Apologies for where the muse sometimes takes me. I blame Jerry Springer.
