It is hard to imagine a presidential election cycle at NPR without the warm presence and reassuring wisdom of Andy Kohut. …
Because for decades, he was NPR’s on-air and in-house expert on the mind of America. And we called on him often — more than 500 times, in fact. We called him our public opinion consultant and analyst, which meant Election Night was always Andy Night at NPR. From the Age of Reagan to the Era of Obama, Andy was The Man. And he was the man to see, as soon as the data started rolling in. Because, while always disguised as a mild-mannered reporter, Andy seemed to have super powers. CONT.
