Why is it that so many people confuse IQ with intelligence? Bush has a freakin' MBA from Harvard for all of the egghead types out there. He is a 2-time governor of one of our largest states. He obviously is a skilled politician. He's not running for college professor. He has obvious exectutive skills that allowed hims to gather democratic and republican suppport in Texas, and pass significant legislation

Gore supporters have got it wrong. Gore has never served as an executive. He has never had to try to build a concensus and work towards a goal. He simply has a divisive, abrasive personality. No real fault of his own, it's just the way he is. Gore is smart, no doubt, and would make a great staff worker. But he has no proven executive skills.

Anybody with business experience knows that it takes a special talent, special leadership skills, to lead a diverse group. Clinton/Gore have done the old fear monger/divide and conquer routine the last 8 years.

Bush truly has a talent for getting along with people rather than useless confrontations. You need to be an executive/politician with people skills. Gore reminds me of Carter; smart but sorely lacking in concensus building and people skills.

There is no question that Bush is the clear choice. Those that continue to say Bush is too dumb just don't get it. We're electing a chief executive officer, not a teaching professor or a staff worker.
