He's not running, but Representative Jim McGovern from Massachusetts' Third Congressional District espouses many of the positions that I would like to see in a candidate.
Last night I heard McGovern as he accepted the Edward F. Snyder Award for National Legislative Leadership in Advancing Disarmament and Building Peace, given by Fiends Committee for National Legislation. The guy was great; grounded in common sense, humble and funny. More importantly, on issue after issue he recognized how the U.S. must reorient it's spending priorities to build social capital at home.
Check out the following link to see McGovern calling for withdrawal from Afghanistan: http://mcgovern.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=15&parentid=168§iontree=168,15&itemid=562
