Republican delegates, including woman, are better educated, have higher incomes, and are more successful as a group, than their Democratic counterparts. What are you ranting about?
Well first of all, prior to 1994, this was probably true. Many people, especially the affluent tend to lean towards the party of small government. This same group does not lean towards religion however, and the Republicans have now embraced religion and a values platform so I believe many of the educated people will leave.
To take a few examples from today however, I would say Clinton is much more intelligent and accomplished than G Bush jr, Liddy Dole and Hillary are about equal intellectually, Barr is a lot less intelligent than Barney Frank (who is a pretty smart guy). Dianne Feinstein (D) is the smartest woman senator imo - shes a national contender. Of course you guys have Arianna Huffington right? ha ha Gephardt is twice as charismatic as Hastert or Livngston, but not more than Newt. Ted Kennedy of course is not too bright just to point out some of the dem weak spots. My overall point is that the parties are fairly equally matched. |
