Both. I think he was a man with vision and integrity, and I so admired him even when I didn't agree with him. I think most people would say that, whatever their political affiliation. Whenever I would get disillusioned and cynical about politicians, I would remember him and think that all was not lost. He died way too soon, and we've lost an icon and a truly compassionate person. After his death and the 2002 election I got seriously depressed. I voted for him in my first election I could vote in, and I was so proud to say I was from Minnesota and point to him. Sigh. I miss him.
