Cleland lost both legs. He happened to be on a flight I was taking to Boston about a year or so ago. Got to hand it to him. Our flight was delayed about 3 hrs. He waited out there with his wife with the rest of us. Even saw him wheelchair up to a urinal and do his thing by himself with no legs. Acted like a regular guy and didn't get any special treatment. For a dem, I was impressed. I'd take many of our southern dems over those new england RINO's any day - except I do want control of the Senate!

Cleland is a great guy personally. His politics simply stink.
