That tells me more good things about Fred than nearly anything else. I believe his first wife has said she would campaign for him, too.
His views are 75-90% compatible with mine, but even if they weren't, that "testimonial from ex's" would weigh heavily in his favor. Who knows you better?
BTW, after having the gracious Laura for eight years, we'll need a great gal to replace her in our White House ... a bill will never do.
