Barak Obama

Watching Meet the Press right now, I can see why people like the Senator-Elect from Illinois. His politics are quite a bit to my left, but he seems like a sober and judicious guy, and pretty politically astute. And funny too: when Russert asked about his political future, hinting at rumors that he might be the Veep nominee in 2008, he demurred, suggesting that he needed to spend some time in the Senate first and pointing out that he didn't even know where the Senate restrooms were. I like a man who feels comfortable enough in his own skin to talk about bathrooms on national television.
