Just heard Keith Ellison on NPR (MN, first Muslim representative)

Some solid speaking skills--talked about how being tough wasn't about an ability to inflict pain but an ability to protect those you care about. Had some great lines about the false choice of the rich poor gap, saying we don't need somebody to be homeless, without insurance, or discriminated against to ensure that we do well ourselves. The crowd loved him.
