Not many candidates for the U.S. Senate are 4'9" tall and only have one hand. But Oregon Democrat
Steve Novick qualifies on both counts -- and uses them as pluses in his TV ads. Like
this one, where he shows why he's the best beer-drinking partner among all the candidates. Or
this one, where it's obvious why he's for "the little guy." Also, as far as we know, he's the only candidate this year for any major office who has
his own brand of beer. And his online campaign manager is a major Slashdot junkie, too, which is certainly in his favor. But will humor and oddness get Steve into the Senate? We don't know. So ask him. In fact, ask him anything else you'd like about campaigning and politics. He's promised to respond, and seems like the kind of guy who will give interesting answers, at that. (Please follow
Slashdot interview rules, as always.)
