One of the larger mistakes I've made,and I very rarely make mistakes of any size.You've proven yourself to be quite difficult.Kern, the teachers' strike, now Matthews.You attribute all that to me?If I had to guess.A smart man once said to methat speculation is a poor form of politics.Why don't you stick to what you know, Raymond?What I know is you are extremely effectiveat what you set your mind to.That is valuable to me,and I've already told Garrett that it could be valuable to him...somebody at his side with one foot in the executive branchand one in the legislative.He is very open to the idea.My turn to speculate.Your recommendation...comes at a price.Fact.I have something that you want.You have something that I want.Have I said something amusing?Oh, I've just sat too many times on your side of the tablenot to enjoy the irony of finding myself on this side of it.Would you like to hear what I want?I don't shackle myself to people I don't know.What I want is one favor.
