Dalton Raises the Energy Level

Not long ago I blogged that some people call Walter Dalton dull. (Not that there’s anything wrong with a governor being a bit dull; see Sarah Palin and Mark Sanford.)
 
Now his video ad “Restless Energy” reflects what I’m hearing about Dalton on the stump and in person: that he has become a forceful speaker and a persuasive personality.
 
Last week, a big Democratic giver told me about Dalton’s fundraising call to him. The giver was impressed by his confidence and assertiveness. And he’s giving.
 
Most striking thing about the video is the contrast it strikes with today’s nasty, gloomy politics. It’s positive, optimistic and energetic. Reminds me a bit of Jim Hunt. Which is high praise.
