Charley, Bob (via speakerphone) and I sat down for about an hour with US Senate candidate Alan Khazei this evening. Many thanks to Khazei and his campaign staff for making the time to talk with us.
Our first question, as always, was why he is running for Senate, and why now. Here's his answer.
Perhaps the most obvious question about Khazei, as opposed to Capuano or Coakley, is the question of relevant experience. However, Khazei does actually have a legislative track record. Here is his description of it.
Later in the conversation, I raised the question of what Khazei would say to a Massachusetts voter who might be disinclined to vote for yet another "change" candidate with little or no experience in elective office. Here's part of his answer, in which he explains his view that a legislative position is actually a better fit for that kind of candidate.
There's lots more, but it's late and I'm tired. I'll get the rest of the interview posted tomorrow.
