 * I'm going to approve it, on the basis that the level for approval is a likelihood of passing afd. In this case, the likelihood is probably a little better than even. You could improve the article by using a fuller format for references: see WP:REFBEGIN, but that would include the author and title of each item, the printed source if any, and the online link--even if the online link is behind a paywall. If it is, it will help to give some indication of the extent of coverage--the objections is likely to be that the NYT refs gave him a mere mention. There are two places where specific references are definitely needed--I marked them. The claim for his role in the creation of Build America Bonds seems quite indirect; unless he specifically is given credit in a source, it might amount to Original Research, which we do not do. I'd fix these quickly--it is usual for articles on candidates who do not win elections to be nominated for an afd discussion. And be aware that we have feeling of skepticism against articles with an obvious conflict of interest.  DGG ( talk ) 07:27, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
