Well, you backed me down. I went back and looked at his record on a number of different sites and couldn't find the record I originally saw that made me form my original opinion. I know it was his record, but the information this time around came up differently - I can't explain it. Anyway, I am left to agree that he may be a viable candidate, after all.
Thanks for making me take a second look.
