No one said that either candidates were the best their parties had to offer. Nonetheless, the two differ significantly in several areas including intellect. Maybe your Swedish mindset prevented you from seeing those differences, Tarry!

I just disagree. Speaking a couple of languages may make a person looking more intellectual in your American eyes but if that were the case most Europeans (maybe except a lot of French and Germans...) would be 2x as intellectual as Kerry and something like 4-5x more intellectual than Bush.

If "smooth" equals intellectual by your definition I may agree that Kerry has an advantage though.

My back-ground is multinational including close ties to and man-years of residency and work in such places as Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Japan and since 1969 USA.
By the criteria above I would be just about 5-7x more intellectual than Bush...

Thus I believe I may be reasonably qualified to see those differences with very little if any of nationality based bias which might cause a problem for you as an American.
Once more Ted, the ability of speaking a couple of languages in no way qualifies a person for an intellectual in spite of what may be widely believed in Minnesota and the rest of the US.
