1. In every way, he has recycled himself into a statesman. I never expected to say that.

2. Yes he has.

We saw evidence of it during the '04 Dem primaries, when he spoke and behaved in such manner vis a vis Wes Clark, for example.

4. Met Al many years ago and must say, the man is a charmer. He is

very witty, intelligent and charismatic. I'm glad he has become an ally.
