I wish him luck; I hope there's no prejudice against him because of his ancestry.

Loretta Sanchez has earned her liberal stripes. She ran against (and beat) a very misogynistic out-spoken man some years ago. B-1 Bob? Typical loud-mouthed, aggressive white male with severe attitudes towards women.

He's not famous.

I just thought it was cool to see an old fashion shoestring campaign where the candidate hoofs it himself.

No staff,...no escort,...just goes door to door to talk to people.

That's practically extinct.

I'm old enough to remember when these kinds of guys used to get invited in for milk and cookies to chat about issues.

Didn't talk to him for more than a moment because I'm very much a shut in, but he impressed me. And hey, he's a Dem as well.

They think of the population as a bunch on easily fooled idiots.
