I don't know...I have a lot of friends on both sides of the fence who like him and have pledged to support his campaign with more than just votes. I've been described as a "fiscally conservative, socially progressive independent" by many acquaintances, and I can see myself voting for him all the way through. As I said, I don't really get political (I know, how un-American of me) but he's someone I would consider getting off the couch and knocking on doors for. He hits all the right points as far as I'm concerned, and he does it without grandstanding and deflecting like all the others.
Of course it's early in the campaign yet, things may change for the worse and he may be revealed to be just another scummy politician. But from what I've read, he's been consistent throughout his career, so there's that.
