He tried to stick to his principles more than any other in Congress that I know of. And while he faltered, he was honest about his failings. He didn't try to dismiss it when questioned about him making a decision that seemed counter to his beliefs. He either gave a sincere reason or, in some cases, admitted that it was the wrong decision.

I didn't agree with him on a lot of policies, but I admired him. He represented what Congress used to be like, and now that he will no longer walk those halls there will be something missing from the Senate floor.

Sums up my feelings.

I wish he hadn't been torpedoed in 2000 and was POTUS when 9/11 happened.  Or maybe it doesn't happen.

He's a tie to a different time.  In the US and in politics.
