Paulsen said, "If I'm nominated I will not run, and if I'm elected I will not serve." If I hadn't been working for Gene McCarthy, and if I coulda voted in the US, I'd have voted for him.

Paulsen held a fundraising dinner in San Francisco (I think) and charged $.49 a plate. He served spaghetti on paper plates and there were no utensils. Gotta love the guy.
