Appreciate the reply and I share those same concerns. He's a rock star, and sometimes we (even highly educated supporters) defend him on every point without accepting that he's not perfect. Understatement of the year, I know.
I'll look for more specifics as this race winds down and the big one heats up, but I will say:
1. I do know he's received a ton (not exaggerating) of endorsements from some of the most senior Democratic leadership thus far (not judging, just saying that people like Chris Dodd and John Kerry and Joe Biden are experienced guys). I'd love to see who he would choose for VP, and my guess is that a lot of his cabinet members would be experienced Washington folks who know their respective areas inside and out.
2. Good question. As a junior senator he probably doesn't get to work on the sexiest committees or most important bills, but I did pull this very quickly from his website: "His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent." Coburn's a pretty staunch libertarian, btw.
3. Me too. I hope to find out more.
