Oh, exactly - that is what I was alluding to. One thing that I really like about him is that he makes a real effort to listen and connect with people, to understand what they need. Photos like the one of him comforting the woman who lost her son in Iraq - a similar photo of McCain would not have revealed the same kind of connection between the candidate and the citizen he's running to represent.
