I’d make a lousy politician. I’m very much a creature of habit, and — as the U.S. presidential primary season has made clear — to succeed in politics you need to be an agent of change. I’m not just referring to Barack Obama, whose campaign platform “change we can believe in” helped propel him past fellow Senator Hillary Clinton in mid-February in the race for the Democratic nomination with primary victories in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
