I am hoping ...
I do think his Vietnam PTSD could be a problem. His voting record certainly doesn't presage a solid grasp of the nature of evil in the world. He doesn't seem to have learned much on the Intelligence Committee. But the idea of him in the White House does not make my bowels run liquid at quite the same level as the thought of "Today, after the planes hit the Towers President Al Gore immediately called Donna Brazile to assemble a focus group ..." <s>
But The Briefing can be very sobering. I think that should he be elected in one year he will be much more reviled from the left than the right.
>>...He's a very smart man. He is going to look at the world as it is and, please God, he is going to do what needs to be done.

>I doubt he will think for himself what he should do for this country. He'll pander for the world's approval and hope the enemy will give up time to convince our "allies".

>Is he really all that smarter then anyone else? The smartest thing he did was marry into money... twice. ;-)

>Besides that what else has he done in twenty years of public service?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
