I was at a reception with Bob Kerrey in NY a few weeks ago. He was hosting our conference on US corporations in the current crisis at the New School University of which he is President. Kerrey has been somewhat controversial with the lefty faculty and students at the New School but his comments at the reception were those of a solid liberal. He predicted a fairly significant shift away from the Democrats in the upcoming fall elections, which the interim elections on Tuesday strongly reinforced. He may be too much to the center in New York but he would likely be a breath of fresh air at the MPAA.
