Cafero: Comedy Is Hard, Politics Are Harder
A Profile
One son is an actor in New York. Another sings in a collegiate choral group in Virginia. To understand their father, know that House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, sees himself as a performer, too.
Cafero loves public speaking. And on Jan. 5., once the clock runs out on the terms of Gov. M. Jodi Rell and Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, the highest profile and loudest voice in Connecticut's Republican Party will belong to the voluble Cafero.
He and his counterpart, Senate Minority Leader John P. McKinney, R-Fairfield, will be the two highest-ranking Republican officials in Connecticut. Each leads caucuses that are outnumbered nearly 2-1 by Democrats.
Cafero, 52, a lawyer who was elected to the House in 1992, has studied and taught public speaking. A favorite book is "Made to Stick," a business best seller about how to make ideas memorable, or "sticky."
