In the first place, intellectuals do not run for president. Not enough time to read and contemplate. And if an intellectual did, mistakenly, run for president, he would probably be a bad president, because his instincts would not be attuned to the demands of the job.

[As far as Kerry inhabiting "the world of ideas for their own sake", I have to laugh.] I really think you should read a little bit more before you just kind of spout off. Kerry is a total intellectual (I don't mean this as a compliment, necessarily). He is the kind of person who bursts into poetry, who is obsessed with ideas, books, philosophers, to the point of seeming paralysis, really. From what I read, people on his campaign wanted to shake him to get him out of his locked up little intellectual world. Do you know one thing about his education, his background, his interests, really anything at all about him? I think it makes conversations more interesting when both people have at least a clue.
