Shorenstein Center Working Paper Series 2005.3, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, 2005.https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37375915In election year 2002, I ran for the United States Senate. I was the Democratic nominee from South Carolina to succeed the legendary J. Strom Thurmond (R-SC). The Republican candidate was Congressman Lindsey Graham.1 Unsurprisingly, I lost. The winners get to write the history, but the losers always tell the best stories. I have resolved to tell the story of my campaign in the form of a book. In doing so, I have struggled no less in art than life. As they say on FOX, I report, you decide. The working title is “The Losers Evening Prayer.” The title is derived from a well-known country music song.en-USResearch Paper or Report2023-06-02
