To meet him is to like him. Hear him talk and you’ll want to hear more. He can grasp a complicated situation and construct a compelling message about as quickly as anyone I know. And he is great at teaching candidates how to prepare their campaigns, how to speak, how to project and deal with hostile reporters.
