Okay, not unreasonable at all. But which is worse: making this into a political crisis, as McCain seems to be doing,or attempting to pour oil on the water, as Bush has done? And which shows the most "gravitas"?

They don't call him "Duh" for nothing. Bush has allowed himself to be pushed to the right so much that he will have trouble getting back to the center by November. If his recent record of sounding convincing is any indication, most moderates aren't going to buy his supposed moderation either. And on top of that, "Duh" will have his right-wing wacko vote snatched by Pat Buchanan.

Clearly, this "Duh" effort at winning the White House is heading towards a disaster. Even Bob Dole's 1996 campaign looked better than this. And we all know where Dole ended up!

>>He should have waited one or two more election cycles, gotten some seasoning under his belt, done something else, lived, read more (heck, any) books, thought deeply, grown some gravitas.<<

You are too hard on him. Turns out that there was a fire in his home library recently. Both of his books burned, and one he hadn't finished coloring yet.
