Spokesman. Soon after the election he embarked on a speaking tour of 91 appearances in 35 states. Next to Ted Kennedy, he was the most sought-after Democrat on the banquet trail. Apart from collecting $60,000 in honorariums, Muskie also expanded his acquaintanceship with local political, business and labor leaders.
