I'd really like to see Tim Kaine run for the Presidency. He's a good man.

I'm afraid Bernie's too old; the article stated he'd be 79 next time around. That's just too old.

voters in rural Wisconsin?

At least Cory Booker has experience as a mayor in a struggling economic city.

Apparently, that's what it takes.

Apparently, these people will believe anything good about somebody like John Wayne. Do we have somebody who looks and sounds tough and heartless but is actually a decent person underneath?
