He is an intelligent man and a good speaker.
I like his views on health care, agree with his saying that high gas prices will help us in the long run if it leads to new developments in alternative energy, and that we should make a return to diplomacy (even if that means he might *gasp* talk to one of our enemies).
As for strategy, well let's just say I think that the 50 state strategy is what will ultimately win him the election, and his trip overseas (especially to Iraq and Israel) will pay off in the long run
