Hi Nick. I think that the common complaint is that he is nothing but ambition. That's the phrase I've heard. There are a bunch of stories about that. He started signing his name "JFK" when he was 19 or 20 to make himself seem more Presidential. My favorite is that he founded a veterans against the war group after Vietnam and became quite a celebrity for throwing away his medals as a rejection of the war. Except, as it was later revealed, they were _someone else's_ medals. There's a bunch of that in his public record - he's been a perfect weathervane. Apparently it comes through in his private life. I've never met him, so I can't say from personal experience, but those who have all say pretty much the same things about him - that if you're not "useful" to him, you're nothing to him. It also strikes me that the Washington Press Corps, which is usually pathetically in the tank for any plausible moderate Democrat, just can't _stand_ the guy. It's remarkable. Mickey Kaus has written about it a fair amount on his webpage. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
