Bredesen Interviewed By Esquire

By Kleinheider Posted on December 16, 2008 at 7:47 am

Discusses the Veep chatter surrounding him during the election season and why people may have been looking to him:

“It seems to me that the kids who always have their head up, looking around for the next opportunity, usually don’t do as well as the ones who put their head down and become really good at doing the job at hand. Being on those various short lists for vice president was sort of the ultimate proof of that, because I’ve been doing all these things that are supposed to make me unpopular.”
