I think he implied the electability issue = tautology

4. Its one one his best TV appearances. |
|
And, funny, at his most (publicly) politically adept. We need to name his knack for Wesisms that are left-handed, from left field, back-handed, mortally unanswerable jabs at the adversary.
Tonight, answering about his voting history, said that he was asked, 'and was not going to say I didn't remember, or lie about it'.
He's the man.
Someday . . . .

5. Yep, still struggling with it myself |
|
He was very good on the show. I think he will get another shot at this in the future. Or he may do quite a bit in a more behind the scenes way. We'll see.

6. He was terrific on the Charlie Rose show. |
|
And it's a goddamn shame that he's been on the teevee more in the past two days than he was in the past two months. And they are actually letting him talk AND they seem to be actually listening to his answers.

7. Just finished watching him here in L.A. |
|
and he is amazing. Every time I see him, I realize how much we have missed out by not having him as the party's nominee.
What a gracious, intelligent, great man.
