Say what you will about his moral failings or his politics, that man knows how to speak and get an idea across. I haven't seen a political speech that good in person in my lifetime.
President Clinton in my humble opinion, was one of the best presidents in the history of the United States. Say what you will about his morality (or apparent lack thereof) but purely politically, there is no doubt in my mind that he goes down as one of the best. Not to mention the entire last two years of his presidency were useless, b/c everybody was too caught up in the Lewinsky thing to actually get any work done. Clinton cared about the environment, the world, the United States, & it's citizens, and what more could you ask for?
I think America's great.

The last part I disagree with on specifics. There are a variety of things that republicans & democrats would disagree with on where we want America to be in 15 years, whether it be universal health care, English as the official language, gay marriage, membership in Kyoto, etc... People disagree, but as long as they are allowed to argue it, I think America's great.
Who's the best communicator on the Republican slate? On the current Democratic slate? I think Obama is pretty good at orating (not so great at debating) and I think that Thompson, when motivated, is good.
Real Texan = mentally marsupialed?
No, just very drunk.
You may not be aware of this, but when Bush ran for governor, he had three issues: education, education, and education. I'm working from memory here so please forgive any lapses, but it was a one-note campaign that resonated with the state's hispanic population who wanted a chance at a better life. All he had to do was stay on message, which was...education.
In other words: not the best person to be POTUS.
When you've got a two-dog race, the winner is still a dog.

That's a really unfair comparison, Kerry is quite a bit smarter than Bush, and frankly could have been a better President. But, yes in a country of close to (or over by now?) 300 million people if those two are the best we can do I am saddened and frightened all at once.

How did you divine this bit of "knowledge"? All the information available says otherwise.
