george dubbayew impresses (not) jim hightower, former agricultural commissioner...

"He's going to lose for three reasons.

"One, the smirk. This is not a facial tic. This is from within. It reflects a
spoiled brat's sense of entitlement and a mean streak that we've seen flare up.
I think that Bush's sense of privilege is going to grow real tiresome real fast.
The more you get to know him, the less you get to like him.

"Two, deep down, this guy is shallow. His one hundred experts and
fundraisers and media handlers and powderers and puffers have done a good
job so far of keeping his shallowness under cover. But during the stress of the
primary campaign, the media, and even some Republicans, began to ask
whether this guy really has it. It's not about intellect. He doesn't have weight or
depth.

"Three, he is a corporate wet dream, a loyal performer for the fat cats
who've put money in him. If the voters and the media focus on the favors he
has done for rich people, they'll see Bush for what he really is: a hired hand for
corporate interests. That's not what the general public wants its president to
be."
