Someone here suggested that Tim Walz is a "Happy Warrior" and I couldn't agree more. I bet that this was....

.....a reference to Hubert Humphrey, the original happy warrior from Minnesota and I can't tell you how happy this makes me. Humphrey was the best of us back then and a politician whose optimism was amazing and contagious. Like Humphrey, Walz is a member of the Minnesota "Democratic-Farm-Labor Party" and I hope they play this up in the campaign. Talk to those Farmers and Teamsters and bring them back into the fold of the old Democratic coalition.

1. My first vote for President

was for that Happy Warrior.

2. Mine too. He had a campaign stop on the campus of Kent State University, blew into the auditorium just like.....

......a happy warrior should, to the New Deal's great tune, "Happy Days are Here Again" and us jaded, anti-war undergrads loved him.

3. Hubert Humphrey would have made a great POTUS

4. Walz is already a folk hero

Kind of like a more moderate Bernie Sanders, but more folksy than that. He's the wise uncle you go to advice for. TV Shows and moviws have versions of him often. He's like your Wilfred Brimley type, just exudes decency and wisdom. He's like the retired guy who works at a hardware store because he really loves helping people find the right things they need for their home repairs. He's common sense personified.
