I don't know his politics at all... but wow, this guys (6 term congressman considering running for NY mayor next time) has one of the strongest personalities I've seen in a long time.
Cracking jokes. Dryly answering "yes, john" when asked if Lieberman is a dick. Says he would have beaten Bloomberg like a rented mule had he run against him this time. Won the crowd over in a major way.
If his policies are right, I could see this guy destroying some people in debates on the national stage.
