Chris Matthews on What We Can Learn from Politicians

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” explains how anyone can use the tactics of professional politicians to get ahead in their own careers in Life’s a Campaign. He writes about Bill Clinton’s laser-focused ability to listen to those he wanted to seduce, Ronald Reagan’s unyielding optimism, and Nancy Pelosi’s hardnosed loyalty. And Mr. Matthews describes how these lessons played a role in his own career.
