POLL: First impression of Pope Francis, on a scale of 1-10

While we are in his first hours and days as Pope, let’s hear about first impressions.   Anyone, even non-registered readers, can vote.  The software shouldn’t be able to track who you are.  I invite other bloggers to spread the word.

The combox is open to the registered.  Keep it concise and keep it respectful.  If you make a nasty comment about the Pope here, I’ll probably ban you as the best way to deal with the problem given me time constraints.

Let 10 be highest, something like “I thrilled and hugging everyone in sight”.   Let 1 be lowest, something like “I’m a chimp throwing feces”.

The poll will close on 18 March.   It is a POLL, not an election.   You honest first impression, please.  Balance what you have seen and heard so far and… click!
