Some GOP candidate for governor just got dissed by a 13-year-old

A reader just drew our attention to a New York Times article on Jonathan Krohn, the home-schooled 13-year-old from Duluth who attracted national attention at last month’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

His speech resulted in a storm of appearances on cable news networks. And in a weekend profile, the NYT included this curious section:

And the invitations have only snowballed since the family returned to their modest house in a subdivision here.

Why just that morning, his mother, Marla Krohn, marveled, a staff member for a potential candidate for Georgia governor asked for a meeting with Jonathan. In her gentle drawl, Mrs. Krohn said cautiously, “I’m not sure I’m a supporter of his.”

“Neither am I,” Jonathan piped in.

“But I’m a voter,” Mrs. Krohn reminded him firmly.

Jonathan retorted, “Now that I’m a political pundit, I have the ability to influence people. I have to think about it!”

But first, his mother reminded him, he had some homework to finish.

You have to wonder who that gubernatorial candidate was.
