He seems almost too nice to be running for political office. Reading the comments is interesting. A lot of people saying he shouldn’t go negative. You know, the peace loving, flower wearing hippy types. Wonder how many of them he’d lose if he did run some attack ads. ---

admittedly, its pretty obvious that he’ll have a ton of insight to give… and he was effective in most cases. Its just sad that this fact is a running point, an advatage is an advatage I suppose. I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t become more public in her campaign as of late / going forward. Joes - do you think it’d be more damaging to her? As far as knocking down BO? ---

> [@Nikuk](#): > > I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t become more public in her campaign as of late / going forward. Joes - do you think it’d be more damaging to her? As far as knocking down BO? He was pretty much her attack dog last time, saying the stuff that she wouldn’t. I think it would be damaging to her because a lot of the people that vote for her because of him have an idealized view that he’d be waiting in the wings, really calling the shots. The more he comes out and says how great she is, the more the realization hits home that he’s not the candidate this time, just a cheerleader. I’d vote for him over Obama in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, that’s irrelevant this year. Also, it’s like Al Gore, people become more fond of some politicians as they spend time away from politics. When they come back into view, it digs up stuff you didn’t like before.
