I'll give you the same advice as far as political analysis goes. The "Fred's old, lazy, sick and married to a trophy wife" talking points are getting old. Time for you guys to come up with something fresh.
I mentioned nothing about his being lazy or having a trophy wife. I did say he looks and talks like someone who is much older than others running who are in the same age group. As for being sick in fact we all know he is though there is some dispute as to how sick and what effect it might have on his campaign or possible administration. I could also add my concern about his admitted work on the McCain-Feingold incumbent security bill, his work against tort reform legislation and his lack of executive experience. Playing a president in a movie does not give you the experience you get from running a state, large city or a business. One of my biggest complaint about the Dem candidates other than their positions on every issue I can think of is their general lack of any real world executive experience. 10 years as a senator, a stint as a prosecuting attorney and a tv/movie career are not substitutes for real world experience actually running something where you are responsible for day to day management decisions. There is a reason they call it the EXECUTIVE branch.
I have watched all the debates on both sides and feel solidly that anyone on the stage tonight is better than anyone the Dems can put forward(well maybe not Ron who I sometimes think is running for the wrong party’s nomination), that doesn’t change the fact that I do not think at this time Fred is our best choice. If we are going to beat the Clinton machine we are going to need someone who is energetic, quick on their feet and who shows well in today’s media. Obviously you will disagree with me on this, but I don’t think Fred is that person. Will I vote for him if he wins the nomination you bet I will. In fact I will work for him and give him money. Will I vote for him in the primary no. My guess is you will. Good for you. That is what makes our party better than that other one, we have great choices. And regardless of who wins our primary we will still have the best candidate.
And since you brought up the trophy wife issue just let me say that as a 56 year old man I give any man a big thumbs up who gets the chance to marry a beautiful young woman and raise a family with her, but that prowess won’t influence my vote in the primary.
