A Spokesman, on Suits and Strategy

A Q&A with White house Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. The Robert Gibbs show is Washington's hottest version of reality TV these days, with his daily briefing becoming a favorite on cable, the Web and Twitter. The White House press secretary, who worked for Barack Obama in the Senate, is one of the president's closest advisers, but in most ways he is his opposite number: hot to Obama's cool, practical to Obama cerebral. He has been in the Democratic communications game for most of his career, but often as a counterpuncher to a Republican White House. Now he is adjusting to being the ultimate insider and voice of the new Democratic administration.
