"People don't see politicians as people"

He's been called "The worst person in the world" by Keith Olbermann; he's opening a new office in San Francisco, and he's got a "man blog" that mixes Sunday School, Pulp Fiction and whiskey reviews.

In the latest episode of NationBuilder'sĀ Leaders and Creators, I talk with South Carolina political operative Wesley Donehue about the GOP presidential field, his start in organizing as a 13 year old on public assistance, and his experience defending Rep. Joe Wilson after the 2009 "You lie!" incident during a presidential speech to a joint session of Congress.

Donehue also talks about social media in politics, using Nancy Pelosi as a liberalĀ caricature, and what he likes about San Francisco.

Awesome podcast, well done. I really like Wesley’s commentary about the political climate in social media. I share his frustration.
