Senator Michael Bennet enters race

Just saw this man on morning joe.
I tell you, we have so many excellent candidates for president. Of the 20some running only 2 or 3 don't pass muster for me. Otherwise they are all great. I would support the 2 or 3 should they become the candidate but, i think they will not be there in the final tally.

So many great candidates...I'd be happy to vote for any one of them, but I do have a few favorites.

3. He gave a great passionate speech on the Senate floor about 6 months ago.

If he can keep that energy for the campaign, he could be a huge surprise.

10. You're probably right, but I thought he was charismatic during the only few times I've seen him.

Anyway, since I haven't seen him very much, I'll take your word for it. Just the same, he impressed the hell out of me in the couple of interviews I've seen him in. One thing I know for sure, though, is that he can be emotional when necessary as evidenced when he went after Ted Cruz about the shutdown.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bennet is someone who gets a boost in the polls once people get to know him in the debates.

like Obama and Bill Clinton.

but Bennet does have an appeal and I found him very likable and could easily support him.

Bennet is probably one of the best I have seen in just one on one interviews. Better than Obama and Clinton.
