The importance of your comment is underestimated, I think. I don't know how many people make voting decisions on that basis, if any, but that thought is in my mind nearly every time I hear a candidate speak. Much as I admire and respect Senator Biden, I didn't want to listen to him every day.

 Am I weird? Why is this never discussed?

 I look forward to States of the Union being delivered by President Napolitano or President Sebelius someday. Meanwhile, that tall, skinny guy is very exciting.
