Only once in my life did I ever think I might form a party. I was going to ask Tim Costello to head a Senate ticket, and I would be second on the list - but luckily for both of us, I never actually got around to ringing him. That was in the 2001 election, when I still believed that a social justice ticket would have some chance of affecting the campaign minimally. I don't believe that now.
