> joe schmo who lives next door". << joe doesn't live next door any more. He moved on. He went back from wince he came. I think if you committed mortgage fraud. And you're a buyer or a lender [derivative]. You should just give it up. Let it go and walk away. Let the big dogs play in the park. as they say. You have a nice evening. and don't look at the dollar/yen.

actually you make some good points but those are different than my point. You are commenting about who can, or should, be able to vote. I am remarking on the kind of person people should voluntarily want to vote FOR. I don't think either FDR or JFK were "positioned" to the voting public as the guy next door... JFK was a war hero that contributed to his mythic status (but most of it came from his dad). Reagan was another one, he represented a value system from another time that people wanted to return to, that had been lost in the 70s. Bush was always positioned as a plain talker aka just one of the guys, and thats all he ever was, his past was just a bunch of failures. I don't think that would have been the sort of person the public would have voted for in the 60s, or it doesn't seem that way. People used to look for smart, accomplished people not failures.
