FDR Churchill Truman Clinton Thatcher Bush Sr. Blair Reagan Bush Jr. (W.) Chamberlain Nixon and that should fit no one else... Nixon would have ranked higher if he'd been democratic - fiddling an election is pretty poor, IMO. But on his record as President, if it could be separated from that as crook, he jumps to #6, below Thatcher. Last good PM's we had were Gladstone and Disraeli. Before that, Wellington and Pitt (younger).

Edited list 1 Churchill 2 Thatcher 3 Reagan 4 Bush Sr. 5 FDR 6 Truman 7 Nixon 8 Blair 9 Clinton 10 Chamberlain. Comments - 1 This was tossed off really quickly. If I give it much thought I might change the order. Nixon esp could change. I have to think about how I would weigh his criminal conduct and his policies like wage and price controls against his other more positive aspects. He could move up or down a couple of spots after I think about it more but I probably wont bother to spend time doing so. Truman could also move around as I havn't given as much though to his term as most of the others. FDR would be higher if I was rating only on impact and effectivness. 2 Bush Jr's term isn't finished yet and he has a lot going on right now so I didn't list him. I can say that right now he would not be at the bottom. Tim
