He is on CNN now and I could just listen to him all day. He talks about the stuff I want him talking about. And in a way no one else can.

1. He actually has the desire to actually serve the country and
the people of the United States. You never hear venom dripping from his lips. He really sticks to the issues that face everyday people. You would think people would want to hear that. It's amazing how nasty and cut throat the other side is.

4. Unlike the venomous snake running for VP on the other side,
and the doddering, senile old coot running for Pres, Obama sounds intelligent and caring because he IS intelligent and caring. His insides match his outside.

Palin likes to brag about her "servant's heart" where hers is actually black and dead. Obama is the one with the true servant's heart. Just look at the resume.

3. The only better one is Bill Clinton
who could manage to lay all the economic blundering out to the biggest doofuses in the country without talking down to them and manage to get them to understand the whole business.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer is getting there, too, although his delivery could use some minor polishing. He, too, can lay it all out there without talking down to anyone, which is why he won as a progressive in a red, red state.

This is the gift out side needs most of all. The average voter is a low information voter who doesn't want to analyze anything and needs everything told to him in plain English with no messy nuances. He's also offended as hell if he thinks some smart college boy is dumbing things down for him, even though that's exactly what he needs.

The GOP has known this for many years, which is why they keep on presenting us with dimbulbs, senile old men, and now a hick town Barbie with absolutely no qualifications. They don't expect their candidates to do anything but front for the boys who really run the show.

On the other hand, we Democrats do expect our candidates to be able to run things. That means we really have to look more closely at their ability to communicate with the low information voter.

Fortunately for us, both Obama and Biden can do exactly that.

5. I like to hear him too.
He doesn't get the recognition he deserves for making complex issues easy to understand for the average voter.
