He will need all the help he can get. There's a reason Rick Warren has a broad appeal. I personally believe he is a very good choice, and a very principled leader. Jesse Jackson, in my personal opinion, has far fewer principles. Just giving you my 2 cents for what it's worth. I've been traveling in the U.S., and haven't checked in with your blog for awhile.
