86. Fair enough. I don't think I could ever "love" any politician though.

It takes a certain ego to presume you have the ability to run a a country of 300+ million people, and I assume alot of the backroom deals and backstabbing that it takes to maneuver to that point is not particularly pretty. Therefore, I don't tend to think of politicians as particularly "good people," regardless of party, though I'm sure as hell glad there's more on our side of the aisle right now (at least in the House).
