He entered the race when no one gave him a chance. I see no evidence he did it because he was bored or wanted to feed his vanity. He tried first to persuade more established politicians to step in. He ran only when no one else was willing to take the risk, and then he chose the right staff and ran a smart, effective campaign. If elected, my impression is that he'll work hard to develop expertise and contribute to policies you'll like. Steven:

I wonder -- really, really wonder -- how he fits the common description of that. I mean, I know that he's not a liberal, and therefore by default he's kinda-sorta a New Democrat. But, hell, the constant harping on morality, the attacks on Social Security, the devil-may-care attitude towards pro-choice issues, this is a New Democrat? Seriously? Okay, it would be kinda scuzzy to repudiate him now as something other than a New Democrat if you previously thought he was --- like Kristol saying Bush isn't a real conservative -- but I really just don't understand how he fits into the mold that the New Democrats tried to shape for themselves. Steven,
