I am referring mainly to a couple of interviews in which he did not enthuse me. His views were solid enough but he seemed to mumble and visually he did not seem the media type product that is needed in modern elections.

We'll agree to disagree. Using your logic, Bush 41 and 43 were not electable. Americans have different perceptions and views about what they want in their leaders. We saw the "media product" known as Bill Clinton. We discovered that he was all hat and no cattle.

Well, 41 did get defeated for reelection and Clinton did get elected twice.  And I think Bush 43's inability to pierce the MSM bubble and get his message out effectively hurt us last year.  I think Fred is the best candidate to defeat Hillary, in no small part because of his proven communications skills.  People may not see that yet, but I can understand the longing for someone who is more effective at it than either Bush have been.  I saw Bush and Cheney at a rally in 2000 here in Memphis and he did very well with the crowd and delivered a great speech.  Unfortunately I think he's been convinced to modify his natural style, which I think is effective, to something more "presidential."
