But if he's gonna be the VP, where are the foreign policy questions?

That was long.... but I sat through it. (Actually only the first 31 mins are Schweitzer) When he got to talking about the Middle East, around 17 mins into it, you could tell he really knew what he was talking about. He lived in Saudi Arabia for awhile. I liked his answers - I noticed that they didn't ask him anything about Israel or Palestine though. Still I'm sure he probably wouldn't be at a loss for words about that if it came up. I'm starting to really like this guy, he's easy on the eyes and ears, very likable and personable. And he could definitely bring some moderate Republicans and Independents our way, without really ticking too many Democrats off. Also he'd help reassure some of the gun control opponents.

4. I never even heard of Schweitzer before a few months ago, but
the more I learn about Schweitzer, the more I like him. The dude is mighty impressive. He's confident, tough, intelligent and has a good sense of humor.

Here's an interesting clip I found regarding the Democratic uprising in Montana:

"And sure I like to pack a gun. Almost everybody I know has a few. And if people ask us how many, we say, 'Well it's none of your damn business.' "

LOL, awesome. Blue-collar workers could definitely relate to him!
