More than policy to candidates

It’s fun to see the answers presidential candidates give about their softer side, though even those can seem calibrated for maximum political impact.
The best answers to Associated Press’ “worst habit” question: Hillary Clinton’s “chocolate,” John Edwards’ “drinking soda” (he favors orange), Rudy Giuliani’s “talking too much” and Mike Huckabee’s “channel surfing on TV or radio.”
Best answers to the question about what counts as "sleeping in": Christopher Dodd’s “With a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old?” And Huckabee’s “Five a.m. is late for me.”
Kansas’ Sam Brownback said his worst habit is “being late,” and that a lazy day starts at 7:30 a.m.

    None of them mention the drunken pedophilia. I wonder why.

    “Softer sides”…well, with Brownback, it obviously isn’t watching football. Not after his gaffe this weekend by dissing Brett Favre..while campaigning in Wisconsin. Oooops.

    Brownback reminds me of one of those nerds on the AllTell commercials. Try as he might, he will never be cool.
