1. That's ok.
He was more than a long-shot as it was. Better off not tarnishing his perfect election record. His Tonight Show appearance really impressed me. Very classy individual. My hope is that he'll get consideration for either the VP slot or a cabinet position;the latter being more likely. If Iowa had more electoral votes it would make sense for VP. However he could appeal to the rural voter the Dems need to topple a few states into the Blue column.

3. That's who I was going to vote for! I'm very upset.
He had the best energy plan. He was for pulling the troops out. He said it all came down to money. I believe he's right. I'm very upset. I don't know who I'll vote for now.
