A respectable, principled figure who will unfortunately flop against a financial juggernaut.

He is a great guy, but he has no chance in hell.

I've enjoyed reading Born Fighting and have always regarded him as one of the better Democratic politicians. That said, he has a ghost of a chance of winning the Democratic Party presidential nomination and I would vote against him if he got it.

Anyone's who's liked has a chance. Two weeks is a long time in politics, let alone two years.

Strengths

- Has a certain populist sensibility around him that plays to a certain kind of voter
- Prison reform is a good issue, although he left the Senate before he could see it through
- Veterans' advocacy is a good issue
- The fact that he has actually announced and done so early

Weaknesses

- May be too conservative for some Democrats on some issues
- Left the Senate after one term, supposedly because he didn't like it, but presidents have to do many of the same things as Senators on a larger scale, such as fundraising, etc.
- Most of his career has been a bit one-dimensional on the veterans' issue
- I don't think he's fully put to bed the 'Women Can't Fight' article or all the passages from his novels
- Has only won one election in his life, a razor-thin victory
- Doesn't seem like the most intelligent person in the world

Opposing DADT repeal will likely kill him in the Democratic presidential primaries.

Didn't always agree with him, but I always respected him. Generally a FF.

FF, hopefully he meets his goal and sells a lot of books as a result of his presidential campaign. He deserves it for beating Macaca.
