regarding the Nepotism quesiton…I thought the question was, “What is the influence of Nepotism in local politics? (not sure if “local” was in there or not)” The answer Kevin gave was, “Too much” and went onto the next question.

I enjoyed listening to Mr. Wendt. Considering he’s only been here 4 months I think he has a good grasp of what is wrong (and right) with the Times. He also seems to embrace, not fear, changes in the newspaper, and broader media, landscape.

I will take issue with the “several hundred” estimate. I would guess the attendance was around 150 – not too bad for a post election meeting at all. But then again I’m not too good at estimating crowd size myself.
