Smudger summed up my feelings about him. I'm a youngin so I don't have enough experience with him to have really well informed opinions about him, though. My opinions are mostly based on what I've read and heard other people say about him.

Yeah, she wanted Monds, who ended up 2nd in votes.
I'm personally keeping an open mind with Spike, just worried people who aren't already Libertarian will dismiss him prematurely. Possibly those are just people we would never win over anyway, though. I'm told he was good in interviews.
