There's actually quite a few really good reasons NOT to vote for him. He was the mayor of my fair city back in the day and although he's a really decent guy with a few great ideas, his leadership abilities are sorely lacking.
I'm thrilled, however, that he has remained in the political sphere, just so that people realize that there IS another voice, another opinion out there.
I think it's quite telling that the Democratic candidates are quite towards the center. Most people over here are starting to realize that we really aren't going to get anywhere with extreme candidates in one way or the other. Moderates are the future and, after these horrid eight years are over with, I don't think you'd find it surprising at all that moderates are considered to be "radically left-wing". Right now, I feel like we're off the map.
