Democratic gubernatorial hopeful won't wear a Halloween costume this year or eat haggis, but she likes spaghetti, peanut butter, Payday

WILDCAT: Any big plans for Halloween? Are you a big fan of Halloween?

NAPOLITANO: I love Halloween.

WILDCAT: Would you say it is one of your favorite holidays?

NAPOLITANO: I would say my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, because you get to eat all day long.

WILDCAT: Would you ever dress up like a turkey for Halloween?

NAPOLITANO: I don't think I would dress as a turkey, but I hadn't really considered the option.

WILDCAT: Are you gonna dress up this year?

NAPOLITANO: This year, no. I'm trick-or-treating for votes now.

WILDCAT: Candy is still effective.

NAPOLITANO: When we go to parades we buy pounds of candy, throw it out to the children, hopefully they don't get in the traffic pattern.

WILDCAT: So, if you had to dress up like a shoe for Halloween, what kind would you be?

NAPOLITANO: A shoe? I would be a shoe with a lot of "soul."

WILDCAT: Now, are you talking soul, like '70s disco funk, or

'90s soul? What color and what type of material would you be made out of?

NAPOLITANO: Soul, soul. I see myself as blue suede shoes.

WILDCAT: That's very calm and mellow. What do you think about haggis? Is it a delicacy or kind of a disgusting conglomeration of whatever it is?

NAPOLITANO: Haggis will never touch my lips. I smelled it once. Ew.

WILDCAT: So, what's you favorite food?

NAPOLITANO: Oh man, my comfort food, I like a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs.

WILDCAT: Do you make your own sauce?

NAPOLITANO: (Laughs) I have made my own. My favorite kind of cooking is calling up the restaurant and asking, "Do you deliver?"

WILDCAT: If you had to eat marshmallows or peanut butter for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

NAPOLITANO: Peanut butter · chunky.

WILDCAT: Even though it sticks to the roof of your mouth?

NAPOLITANO: That would be fine with me. I have a peanut butter candy bar in my purse as we speak.

WILDCAT: You always come prepared.

NAPOLITANO: Uh, huh, I'll show you. (Pulls candy bar out of her purse.)

WILDCAT: If three candy bars were walking toward you, and you had to ask one of them a question, which would you choose and why?

NAPOLITANO: That would be unusual.

WILDCAT: Yes, well, this is a very unusual column.

NAPOLITANO: I would ask a question of a Payday candy bar. And the question would be, "Where's the chocolate?"
