When it comes to the general election, I hope he lets us see that side of him. I hope he is just himself and softens up his hardened outer shell. 

This post makes me think back to Bob Dole. I remember seeing him on the Daily Show after he lost his presidential campaign and dude was cracking me up. He was quick and witty and had no problems hanging with the host (I can't remember if that was Jon Stewart yet or not). My first thought was, "Dang, Bob; if you had been like this in the campaign, you probably would've won in a landslide!"

That opinion might be debatable, but ever since then, I've noticed how every candidate seems to campaign has one kind of person instead of being themselves. Probably the last person who ever was pretty much himself on the campagin trail was, IMO, George W Bush.

But, I guess everyone's too busy pandering to worry about being themselves.
