able to judge the situation objectively rather than spewing the RW bullshit (a la Ron Christy), agreeing this primary is a mess. A nice refreshing change!

He was a manager of the McCain/Palin campaign; ended up not getting along with Palin at all - I think he was the guy who said she had "trouble with the truth." He seems to be more of a realist than an ideologue.
