Roland: What sort of sway does "Ted" have over his followers? I asked liberal Congressman Bart Svigals, who fled Washington during last year's outbreak of tax-cut fever... Congressman, you've been in self-imposed exile now for over a year, right? Man: That's correct, Rollie. Ever since the Roth-Kemp bill was introduced. Roland: Would you return to Congress if Senator Kennedy asked you to? Man: Yes, I would. I would do anything for the man. Roland: Would you... would you overspend for him? Man: Lavishly. Without hesitation.
