Hey it does take more than ideology to be president. How about instead of spinning your wheels, you give me some solid input as to why Fred would do a good job in these categories.

So far you people have done is evade the real question: How is Fred qualified beyond ideology?

Thanks

Exactly what makes any candidate 'qualified' to be the POTUS? The answer depends upon who is being asked the question, and in reality their is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer. It comes down to what the majority prefers.

Character, ideology and 'gravitas' are the most important qualities, IMO.

You're asking too much... after all, ideology can tell you a great deal about how a person will:

Run the White House.
Staff and Run the Cabinet.
Run the Military as Commander In Chief.
Set legislative priorities and the legislative agenda.
Negotiate with Congress and persuade those on the fence.(*)
Communicate to the nation.(* and look/sound good doing it)
Staff and Run the Party.

No leadership credentials required. Just step in and start leading! I've put "*" where I think Fred is fully qualified and ready to lead.

PS to my earlier reply: imagine Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, John Kerry or Algore trying to step into those leadership roles!
