"Jeb, if nominated, might seriously underwhelm, ala Dole."
Funny, when I read the last word in that line, Dole, the first thing in my mind was how I would have loved to see Elizabeth Dole try for high office. She has always impressed me in certain ways more than her hubby.
We are looking for a viable candidate for the presidency in '08, not best in show based on bloodline at the Westminster Dog Show. And your assessment on the idea "underwhelm" is right on the mark GOP_1900AD.
We got lucky with W. Sadly, many have concluded that someone who is very bland is the right "formula" for '08. Big mistake ... BIG, BIG mistake. But go right ahead ... ignore me. I really don't care any more.
