One thing that struck me about Harry Taylor was the way he said his piece. For the first time in a long time, I also give Bush some credit for his handling of the situation. Bush could have let the audience drown this guy out, but instead he quieted them down and let Harry say his piece. If you watch the video, as opposed to reading the posts, you can see the grace with which he delivered his message. While Bush dodged the bulk of Taylors message in his response, Taylor at least started a dialogue among the rest of the nation.

Also, Taylor's folkie background was not the reason he was chosen apparently.
