John Glenn
For general background on Glenn's personality and character
traits from a reasonably competent observer, I recommend you read
Tom Wolfe's "The Right Stuff", which discusses the group of
original astronauts including Glenn.

My other knowledge of him is that he is
anti-freedom-of-gun-ownership, which indicates a desire to impose
onerous restrictions on personal freedom; that is enough to
turn me against him despite other qualifications.  (Personal
opinion.)  Gun issue debate currently (and perennially) rages on
the Poli-Sci mailing list, if you are interested in the topic.
