...think being raised by a single mother in a home with your two sisters has shaped your character? I've got a softer side to me. Look, you don't miss what you don't have. I like people. My strongest point on the campaign trail was that I was relaxed, and I think I can get on pretty easily with New Zealanders from all walks of life.

What surprised me was that none of them would say for certain whether he is alive or dead. Half of them assumed he is dead, while the other half assumed he is alive. I suppose a lot of their timidity had to do with the still open wounds regarding the CIA's missing an event like Saddam Hussein's destruction of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. It would be so much easier to miss the death...
