He's been called a 'political kingmaker,' 'The Godfather,' and a 'backroom maestro.' But by his account, Paul Sandoval is 'just a lowly tamale maker.' A Rocky Mountain News story notes Sandoval started making tamales in 1974, and by 2007 was selling upwards of 12,000 per day. Lowly tamale maker, indeed.
In July, the Denver Post profiled Sandoval -- the man who planned out Ken Salazar's political career on a cocktail napkin in the back room of his tamale shop. Now, 5280 has compiled an oral history of Sandoval as told by friends, mentors, colleagues and family.
