I went to a local town hall last night to hear him in a small group (less than 100). While he spent the first 15 minutes giving the usual stump speech, the Q&A revealed someone different in three important ways for me. First, he's truly passionate about science and education, and misses the "blue sky" visions that we Michael Charneyhttp://www.chasingglennbeck.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899447029099688486.post-3739581302375900372011-09-25T13:19:47.461-04:002011-09-25T13:19:47.461-04:00Enervate is a good term.

Bizarrely, I was in Manhattan that same day; interestingly, for all that was going on in Wall Street, anything north of there was completely normal.
