i guess that's my point, nothing made him exceptional. don't get me wrong, i think the guy is ok. after seeing him on tv and all the media attention i expected him to have presence like during the convention. while i'm sure that he is intelligent and will uplift AA, I found him to be just like the guy next door. he's down to earth and all - i guess i was expecting him to challenge me like a martin luther king. i don't want to take away from him, i just thought he was ok nothing more and nothing less. i spoke after him and started out with something like i did not ride the bus with rosa, i did not walk the streets and highways with martin and i did not attempt to eat at the lunch counter with the brave souls in greesnboro - the media only gave him a second and then played my speech - maybe i just had a good day. anway, i wish him the best and he has my support
