It is the perfect counterbalance3 for all the articles, like the Hill's suggesting Kerry "needs" to get something here - as he has few legislative accomplishments. This takes the opposite approach that it is his negotiation skills that mean he may find solutions when others would not - then gives 3 concrete examples - one US and two foreign where he accomplished things that others thought impossible or had failed at.

I love that they credit JK's upbringing with his dad. (The 2004 media seemed to cast him as a loner with little close family - when we all know he was blessed with an extraordinary family, who loved him. His crediting his dad when speaking to Brinkley was a really nice gesture - especially when he had risen far beyond his dad's accomplishments at that point.

Reading it, it is really unfortunate that a man with these skills and the personality to really do this - something many are too arrogant to ever do - will never be President.
