Presidential contest is shaping up as a battle of professional archetypes
jewishworldreview.com | A few words today about lawyers and businessmen. With John Kerry's choice of John Edwards as his running mate, the presidential contest is
shaping up as a battle of professionalarchetypes. It will be, at its base, a race between the producers and the advocates. And a little bit of vocational history will go a long way to understanding the stakes.

You'll recall that, outside of Washington, George Bush's and Dick Cheney's private-sector careers were as business leaders — Cheney at Halliburton and Bush at the Texas Rangers and smallish oil companies. In the early days of Bush's presidency, the media made much of our first commander in chief with an MBA: His management skills were said to inform not just his political opinions but his style in the Oval Office.
