36. I think it is a governing philosophy that runs through his life
I cited it because it was the first incidence I noted of his leadership type, and he has shown an ability to do this in the Senate also. I liked the transparency legislation he put together with Tom Coburn, whom we would normally revile.

I also like that he challenges people to do what is right...like when he went to the evangelical churches and told them they haven't lived up to the ideals of Christianity when they treat gay people badly. Or when he went to Detroit and told them they need to make cars more fuel efficient.

I like how he leads his life, how he treats his wife (and what good taste he has). I find him an admirable fellow.

To you, this is not enough. To me, I see enough that I trust him to make good decisions...And he has run a freaking impressive campaign. To outdo the Clinton Machine on organization and fund-raising? Awesome.
