Sherrod truly is! My daughter would laugh and say "you would never know Sherrod was a U.S. Senator, would you, Daddy? With his rumpled clothes and all. He's so nice, though."

He would take a walk - and walk over to us and just strike up a conversation. One on one, he's a little shy, actually. So unassuming, unpretentious - so "of the people." I used to tell my wife how confident I was that the founding fathers would love this guy. And then we would see him on stage - and he would speak before Obama, or something like that - but he would come alive with passion - and transform into a completely different guy. Still nice and polite though. But he's a tenacious fighter.

Public servant - through and through. His main concern is the welfare of his constituents - and the people of this country at large.

(He may well end up being someone's VP choice - I could see Kamala picking him, for example.)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
