Everyone acting like he's a super hero? Mojoe has zero credibility - especially Mika.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

and the wider issue of RW "xianity" hypocrisy. Admittedly that gives him a few points in my book. Also nice that his Iraq military service lets him take their undeserved military defense "sanctimony and expose it for the paper tiger that it is.

Superhero? No. But a new "flavor" in the Dem primary contest, I would guess.

He looks and sounds good on TV. He seeks out as many interviews as he can get to raise his profile. When you do that aggressively, they want to talk you more and it creates a buzz.

And as POTUS, I can see Pete being very Bartlet-esque, i.e., bringing to any issue a deep intellect, a curious mind, and vast storehouse of knowledge and wisdom... even to the point of boring staff with countless factoids and history lessons.
