Say what you will, he's a nice guy. People give him shit for being *slow.* Sure, he can't really speak well, but he's no idiot. Anybody who has met him face to face will tell you he has a sturdy handshake and a warm demeanor. I have the privilege of meeting just about each and every presidential candidate, and have engaged in casual conversation with the past two presidents and vice presidents at receptions. I remeber Bush especially because there was a shrimp dish served by the
Bonta was "del
ictable." Lieberman has a self image disorder and was a wreck, Howard Dean talked way too quickly to trust and had shifty eyes, John Kerry was a really nice guy, and laughed when I asked "Why should we vote for a guy who was shot 3 different times in Vietnam? Seems like a bad investment," which could have certainly just as easily pissed him off. Out of all of them, McCain was my favorite, he was soft spoken, but answered all questions directly, had a strong handshake, and very kind eyes, and just sat around shooting the shit with a bunch of us for about an hour.
I am not looking for any bashes... who do you like so far?
