This was the same criticism of Gene McCarthy in '68. It was that he didn't have enough "fire in the belly" about becoming President. Frankly, I don't want the White House to go to someone whose every waking moment and calculation for decades has been how to get into that job.

That sort of thinking gave us Billyjeff Clinton, and has an outside chance of giving us Hillarybob Clinton. In the Federalist, Madison, Hamilton and Jay described the sort of person who should not become President. It was someone "with talents for intrigue and the little arts of popularity." How many of the candidates in the 2008 race fit that description?

How'd that work out for Gene?

Sadly, everyone appears beguiled by Rudy's fast talking NYC style and Mitt Romney's immaculate suits and well-coiffed pate

To hell with the abundant evidence neither of them are who they are claiming to be today.Here we go again.
