...disappointed with this new political apathy? MG: The youth have never, never been a large voting bloc, and there are reasons for that. They don’t get to have a full stake in society and they’re not motivated like people who have a stake. Whether you have a house, a job, or the loss of a job, it changes your whole approach. Jack Kennedy with his charisma certainly did bring out idealism in youth, and of course Hubert Humphrey probably in greater detail than did Jack Kennedy. We don’t have that situation...
...What’s the most important thing for college students to know about your campaign? MG: The fact that I’m the first one in American history that is campaigning on the basis of “Fine, I don’t mind being president.” I don’t have a burning desire to be president, but if I were president I would be a very unusual one.

Never in the history of the nation has a person put himself up and said, “Look, sure I want to be your leader, but I don’t want to be your leader unless I’m your legislative leader and you have the power to make laws.” If the people can’t make laws, then I don’t want...
...have some lofty gals like eliminating the IRS and decriminalizing marijuana. Is the country ready for such radical change? MG: Of course it is. I know of at least five blind polls where people pick issues that they think that they want to accomplish. And you know something? The candidate that they most identify with is me. I dwarf Hilary and Obama in these blind polls. What are the people saying? If they knew who I was attached to the issues that they want to see resolved, then I would become president of the United States. But I don?...
