While searching for Sen. Obama talking about his experience, I found this quote from right before he announced his run in Springfield:
Q: What living politician do you most admire?
A: I have to say that you stumped me on that one. There are a lot of elected officials, including some of my colleagues in the Senate, who have done outstanding work. And I think there are some wonderful governors around the country: Kathleen Sebelius in Kansas, Janet Napolitano in Arizona, Deval Patrick in Massachusetts, Eliot Spitzer in New York. I think there’s a generation of progressive but hard-headed and practical folks out there.
What exactly did he admire about Governor Spitzer, I wonder?
