Mike Kinsley interviews a (somewhat) fictional Democratic presidential candidate:

Q: Governor, in light of your seventh-place showing in five successive primaries, some people are saying it’s time for you to withdraw from the race. What is your reaction to that?

Q: Many people have been hoping you would stop calling yourself that anyway.
