MPR's Stephanie Hemphill talks with Judge Gerald Heaney in a story out today.
Here's Heaney recalling his first brush with politics in the '20s, spending a day with dad.
"And on Saturdays he'd take me in his car and we'd go out and nail up Al Smith signs on the telephone poles on the rural roads in Goodhue County," Heaney says. "And the next Saturday we'd have to go back and do the same thing, because they'd all be torn down!"
Other tidbits of the day:
Joe Klein is on Midmorning today. His latest book, Politics lost, looks at what has created the bland, poll-driven candidates we have today and why it's a bad thing.
