Said on Charlie Rose now

[AbbeyRoad]

1. Yeah, i heard that

I think he implied the electability issue = tautology

[BootinUp]

2. An important public service message

Starts here in about an hour, thanks for the heads up.

:)

4. Its one one his best TV appearances.

And, funny, at his most (publicly) politically adept. We need to name his knack for Wesisms that are left-handed, from left field, back-handed, mortally unanswerable jabs at the adversary.

Tonight, answering about his voting history, said that he was asked, 'and was not going to say I didn't remember, or lie about it'.

He's the man.


Someday . . . .

[BootinUp]

5. Yep, still struggling with it myself

He was very good on the show. I think he will get another shot at this in the future. Or he may do quite a bit in a more behind the scenes way. We'll see.

3. I Love Wes

I could listen to him talk for hours.

[Kool Kitty]

6. He was terrific on the Charlie Rose show.

And it's a goddamn shame that he's been on the teevee more in the past two days than he was in the past two months. And they are actually letting him talk AND they seem to be actually listening to his answers.

7. Just finished watching him here in L.A.

and he is amazing. Every time I see him, I realize how much we have missed out by not having him as the party's nominee.

What a gracious, intelligent, great man.
