Election story update

My ideas for the election have changed a bit. Robert Sahr is now going to be interviewed by Tim or Terry and I am going to focus in on Bill Lunch. I havent contacted him at this point, but I plan to this week, since this story is not election day sensitive (it doesnt have to be completed pre-election). I will be doing my profile on Bill Lunch as well. Below are the questions I plan to ask him as part of both stories:
For the Story: - Comment on how historic this election really is for our nation and globally.
- How long ago was it absurd to think that either a black man or a woman (of any type) would be fighting for a spot in the White House?
- Post 2008 election: does history continue to be made, or will it be back to the same type elections again (white man vs. white man)?
- Is there a particular person in Washington, or nationwide, that you see continuing to make this type of history (I.e. is there another black man/woman or another woman - other than Hillary - that could continue this into the next decade)?
- What are the chances that we will see a black woman in the White House in our lifetime?

For the Profile: - Why did you pick politics/what interested you in politics to begin with?
- You attended Cal-Berkeley at a very interesting time (late 60s/early 70s). Talk about that experience and how it help shaped who you are and who you have been since.
- What do you enjoy most about being in the university atmosphere, especially being around college students in an election year?
- Have you ever had any students in your classes that you thought would have made great politicians? Ever had any that went on into politics?
- Basic family questions: Wife, kids? How long married/How old? Does your family have the same love for politics as you/same views as you?
- Have you ever predicted an election dead-on? Any predictions that suddenly went south in a hurry due to some unexpected occurrence?

***** - I would also like to find a couple of students (1 male, 1 female) in his class that could comment on his teaching style and how his analysis has helped them in their studies and stuff.

Comments? Please let me know........
