He was a decent leader there, albeit a bit of a political character -- where his answers often hedged down the middle, such that it was a little difficult to get a sense of who he was and where he truly stood or what he truly thought.
I don't care much whether he grew up on a farm or not. The bigger question in my mind is why someone like McCormick -- who's had access to high quality education and career experience -- would parlay that background into allying himself with the current Republican party.
For example, he's run campaign ads where he shows himself firing assault rifles on a shooting range. It's a sad state of affairs when you have to pose with the weapon that's responsible for killing so many school children -- in order to come across as baseline palatable on the right.
I wish McCormick, and candidates like him, who clearly know better -- had the courage to stand against issues like that, if they're going to run on the right.
