John Gizzi’s 2008 election predictions were actually right on the money. What did he see in the final days of the presidential race that suggested a likely Obama victory? What does he make of the people being named and being rumored to have big roles in an Obama administration? And how was he one of the very few to see Ted Stevens winning his election despite his status as a convicted felon? We ask Gizzi, who is political editor at Human Events, all of those questions and more.
