Maybe, JA, but his own words...his owns words about women, minorities, the disabled, POW's make it hard for me to believe that he's a good guy. It's not like I'm basing my poor opinion of the man on what I was told; rather, I'm basing it on what he actually said. 

If you want to be a leader and you start out by expressing "values" like that, I don't much care what else you have to say. All of that said, I am hoping he surprises people and does some good work. Even though I can never forgive his ugly words, failure would be so damaging that I hope he succeeds.
