"Bush is great in person."
Yes he is. I've seen him twice here in WI in the last 5 weeks. You get a greater appreciation for him in person.
He really connected with the crowd, kind of like Clinton only better because he is genuine, not a sociopath.
Bush is very engaging in person and I had the pleasure to see him here in Las Vegas back in August.
Here is my firsthand report of it, which I posted to FR the next day!
