Stephen Marks is a former political hitman. For more than a decade he was a Republican opposition researcher: one the guys paid to dredge up dirt on candidates, or to craft attack ads to destroy them. Now he’s written tell-all a book about his days in the political trenches. It’s called Confessions of a Political Hitman, and he’s on Fair Game to talk to Faith about it.
