The question is: what did Christie inspire?

Christie became more popular when he stood up to the teacher’s union. I’m sure a lot of politicians (on both sides of the aisle) noticed it too.

Care to have some fun? Call and ask to be transfered to them. Jamming the hotel switchboard will make them unwanted guests in a hurry.

Ask for: Tim Carpenter, Spencer Coggs, Tim Cullen, Joe Erpenbach, Dave Hansen, Jim Holperin, Robert Jauch, Dan Kapanke, Chris Larson, Julie Lassa, Mark Miller, Fred Riser, Lena Taylor, Kathleen Vinehout, or Robert Wirch.

Weren't Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain government employees?

I assume a lot of the other faces in this crowd are identifiable people. One of them looks a little like Joe Kennedy, Sr.
