don't know the man but I love what he stands for. I LIKE him a LOT but love? No, I hate the rock star love some have for a politician. It is so odd and leads to so much contention on places like DU. If you are so wrapped up in a candidate you cannot look at the good and the bad of them and balance those things and accept some of them rather than covering them up and fighting to the death to deny them then perhaps it is time to stand back and realize you might be part of the problem.
