Reply #16: He's got none of the personal baggage of Clinton

[PurityOfEssence]

Yes, the war vote is a heartbreaker, but I said PERSONAL baggage. There are no allegations of being veracity-challenged or a poon-hound, and his business and career actions have been gone over with the electon microscope of right-wing hate; the guy's clean and decent.

Coming from the working class and from a small southern town, he's definitely going to be in the Clinton category for quick classification, but where Bill is gregarious, John is warm and engaging; where Bill is forceful and publicly focused, John is determined and subtle. The populist characteristics that had so many of us looking to Clinton as a great left hope are all there, but the baggage isn't.

It's also good timing.
