I've watched his carreer with interest over the years. I don't always agree with him, but he strikes me as the political equivalent of Barack Obama. He is an eternal optimist. He's bipartisan without pandering. His politics are rooted in a desire to see America and Americans succeed--all americans, not one team or the other beat the other down. He's old school. What can I say? I love the guy. Seeing him on meet the press last week(pt1) only confirmed this(pt2) for me. He managed to say nice things about Bush without seeming coy or sounding like a hack. He's the governer of the greatest state in the union. Yeah, you heard me right, THE GREATEST.

He's the best kind of surrogate John McCain could hope for. He's only about 1000X smarter than people give him credit for. And if you watch this interview, you'll see that his command of the English language is not only better than you thought, but infinitely better than George "all the Mandelas are dead" Bush.

He's married to one of Obama's biggest endorsers.

Is her endorsement bigger because she's a Kennedy, or because she's the terminator's husband? You decide. Either way, if I could buy stock in people, I would buy it in this guy. Too bad he's not a real American in the eyes of the constitution.
