    JB, my new tiny crush

    * I don't give a shit about a plaigerism charge from over forty years ago. Lord help me if someone ever looked at the shitty things I pulled when I was younger.

    * I also don't give a shit about his hair plugs. I actually think it's kinda cute in a geeky way that they're so transporent. I suspect that Hilary dyes her hair(!).

    * I am not thrilled but understand BIden's thinking on the credit card bill.

    * However, he takes the train to work every day just like I do, and is a huge supporter of Amtrak.

    * He also is a hardcore economic populist (shades of Edwards, but with a very different coif).

    * The thing that strikes me the most about him is that he's still so likeable while he's tearing someone a new one. He comes off to me as spontaneous and honest. He's no Howard Dean, IMHO, but he is damned close. Happy happy, joy joy! Now I'll start paying attention to this race again!
