Last October, as the sun set over the Hudson River, I approached a heavyset man in black kilt who wore thick, rimlessglasses and had a long, waxed mustache.
Wearing an impeccably fitted slate gray suit with a pale yellow tie, Blackwell looked over the heads of the assembled media through his rimlessglasses and began without preamble.
His campaign posters portray him in more professional attire, in a suit and tie, just a hint of an avuncular smile around his lips and the eyes behind his rimlessglasses.
