I understand how you feel. Really? Why? There's no factual basis for those "feelings" he's worried about. Bush has been successful in business and suffered through failures as well. You often learn more from failure than success. Gore's never had a real job in the private sector. Bush's record as Governor is enviable. He was overwhelmingly re-elected to his latest term. he has many fine achievements to his credit. He's not a dimbulb as the debates amply proved. There's no reason to give credence to such illogic.

Frank: Your continuing prediction that a GWB presidency would result in a positive shift toward consensus building is too pollyannish. This only occurs if the country gives the Republicans a solid victory in the presidency and both houses of Congress, and that isn't likely to happen. There are those who attribute America's economic success over the last six years to the fact that we have had gridlock between the White House and Congress. To achieve this great consensus building, Bush would have to achieve two things: (1) harmony with inept GOP leadership in Congress, DeLay, Armey and Lott; (2) harmony with Gephardt and Daschle. The latter might be easier to accomplish than the former. In fact, I think a Bush presidency might rival Carter's in terms of "lost opportunity." But then again, many would say gridlock is good for the country.
