Friday morning, we talked with Tim Eyman, Republican candidate for governor. In all the interviews Tim has done, no one has ever asked him this simple question: “What don’t you know and what are you bad at doing?” Eyman answered this really well.

We also discussed what it’s like to have all the weight of the unlimited power of government piled on you for years, costing you a marriage and maybe your home. For all Tim’s faults, that he has survived this and, in fact, is thriving, says much about the man’s character.

Here’s our discussion.
