It is rare to find a person so thoughtful, visionary, creative and brilliant, who is also a person of great integrity, honesty and character. Even immediately after the loss, when many on DU were angry at him for the continuance of Bush, there were plenty of times where there would be long threads speaking of him as a "class act" because of something he did. Ironically, the thing that started most threads was that he in some way or other reached out to a regular person (or persons) in a very human way -- the exact opposite of the genuinely unfair meme that the media as well as the republicans pushed in 2004.

It says a lot that the group of us from DU JK who defended him after the loss can say that they are prouder as time goes by to have supported him all these years. He really is the real deal.
