I'm not so sure. It's axiomatic that people will not elect anyone much
smarter than they are. This may be because they find his/her solutions to
issues hard to understand or that he/she seems to be an elitist. Worse
yet,
the same 'dumbing down' we've seen in schools for several decades now
affects the electorite. Thus anyone who appears smarter than a village
idiot will be rejected. One solution is to offer a real idiot, but one
wiser
party hacks can control. It's working for the GOP.

You and other liberals maybe, but not me or any conservative I know.

The proof comes when the ballon goes up. Consider Bush's reaction to 9-11.
Does he leap to the helm and take command of the situation? NO! He
finishes
reading to the kindergarten then allows his SS protectors to whisk him to
safety for a week while Chainey and Rumsfield handled the crisis. That
tells
me the good old boys from Halliburton are really in charge. But I
wonder -
did Bush really drool and say "What! Me worry?" before going back to
reading
to the kids?

Yea and Kerry sat there in a stupor for 40 minutes unable to speak. Yea he
is the Man for the job, hahahahaha
I bet you have no idea how active Bush was from his high tech mobile command
center aboard Air Force One.
Again take a small insignificant issue and twist it to make the basis for
you decision. Get real! Partisan propaganda. But, I guess that is all you
have.
Please quit showing you ignorance, my side is starting to hurt. You can not
seriously believe Bush was not doing anything. And, he has not stopped
since. I wonder how many times Kerry would have flip-flopped every time the
French, the UN or special interest groups objected to his decision. I was
against the war, before I was for the war, before I was against the war,
before...........
