>> We will all look back now on our major objection to him last spring. "He is too nice a guy." Turned out to me right. Trouble is, I don't think any of the others could have done better. It is hard to run a clean campaign when your competitor is willing to get down in the mud. But I really have a different attitude about the primary process now; at the time, I thought, "How cool, we've got tons of debates and we'll hear all the candidate's ideas and it will be wonderful." WRONG. It just made them all unelectible. It also speaks volumes about the power of incumbency and the ever-increasing 47%. If the economy continues to creep along, four years from now the 47% will be the 52%, and then what? The Republicans, or Libertarians, or whoever, need to get it together and raise a lot of money in the coming four years and come together with one or two superior candidates who can get off the absurd hard-right social ideas and get themselves elected.
