Reply #30: I admire him because

[indie_voter]

He is a brilliant, thoughtful man who is not afraid to answer questions honestly, even when he knows the answer isn't what some want to hear.

He is not afraid to admit he doesn't have all the answers. He speaks to the details not broad concepts. In other words he speaks the way old time leaders used to do, before our soundbite culture.

He is the best qualified man to run this country. He didn't get the nod because he didn't know how to play the game.

One of his biggest strengths is how fast he learns, he was a different candidate by the end of the race. He learned from his mistakes because he acknowledged them.

His intellectual curiosity coupled with his experience leaves no doubt in my mind, he is the right choice for 2008.
