I agree that Mike is the "honestest" candidate we've seen for a long, long time. I just thought I'd throw this out there for public digestion, as I find the bulk of it quite refreshingly honest vis-a-vis Mike's strengths and virtues. This race is all madness, and who knows, anything may yet happen. Viva Maurice Robert Gravel!
