I'm hearing lots of buzz about this guy, but know very little about him. Is he conservative, his previous experience, notable achievements, etc. Serious answers only please.

- I don't have any thoughts about him until I hear about his thoughts.
- I dont like any Republicans, but my money is on McCain winning the GOP Primary and being the candidate in 2008.
- He is moderate. As for his accomplishments: -served as CEO of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games -signed legislation to provide health insurance to virtually all citizens of Massachusetts without raising taxes -established the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship Program to reward the top 25 percent of Massachusetts high school students with a four-year, tuition-free scholarship to Massachusetts’ state university or colleges. -submitted a bill to the legislature to deliver $100 laptops to all children in Massachusetts. -turned a $3 billion deficit in 2003 into a $700 million surplus in 2004 without raising taxes. -proposed indexing the minimum wage to inflation He is pro-life, pro death penalty, supports the use of surplus embryos from fertility clinics for stem-cell research, strongly opposed same-sex marriage, and supports regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. Education: B.A. with Highest Honors and as valedictorian from Brigham Young University M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and was named a Baker scholar J.D. cumlaude from Harvard Law School He is a Mormon and served for 2 1/2 years as a missionary. He is on my short-list (very short) of people I would like to see run in '08.
- Will people vote for a Mormon?
- "whatever I do what I want," Cartman
- He has good credentials. He is a conservative who can win in a liberal state. He is an articulate speaker. He has personal integrity. I haven't heard many specifics on the issues. I don't think he can get the money, which is key to a long primary season. If he does respectfully in the early primaries a Westerner like McCain will grab him for VP.
