Recenty watched him on The Daily Show evading Stewart's great questions about how we have helped the banks but not the underwater homeowners in the recovery.

He's another good-looking corporatist who can speak well in public. The pretty face of the capitalist beast keeps morphing. If you like social liberals with neoliberal enonomic policies he might be a fine choice. I think we need someone who is not a neoliberal corporatist, so Castro is not for me.
