“First off, I must say I was floored when I heard you guys voted me the Sexiest Man Alive for 2007. I guess all the campaigning finally paid off.

“Unfortunately, after all those years out on the trail, the meet and greets, the fund-raisers, the stump speeches, I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that this is a mantle I wasn’t meant to hold….Don’t get me wrong, though. I was really shocked and happy (Lucy said I actually blushed) when I heard the news. So I can’t thank you enough for that…”
