Great stuff as ususal - but I thought she promised to campaign for Hillary because of McPain?

Don't get me wrong - I can't stand Juan McPain either, but Hillary is a delusional feminist liar. In this corner, we have Obama the seething racist.

Can anyone explain to me how we got here? These three are the best this nation can offer?

I just looked at the board of directors of one company (L3).

What an impressive bunch! PhDs, scientists, economists, MBAs, engineers, retired military officers........why can't these folks have a stab at leading our nation!

The process by which this country selects its leaders is very unattractive to the people who would make the best leaders.

They’re not rich enough. You practically have to be a trillionaire these days to run for office. I agree with you, I’d love to see some of these folks run for our highest office.

Well, These three are the best this nation can offer that are sufficiently power hungry to endure the ridiculous and over extended process of selection.

They don't want it, they're too smart and don't want the pay cut.

Also, they don't want the media up their ass 24/7.

I have been troubled about that myself, for quite some time. Maybe because the president of any mid-sized company already makes more than the POTUS? And this corporate president may have to adrress shareholders, but he does not have to have press conferences with Helen Thomas.P>I just do not think the POTUS is a very good job any more, and we have not attracted top talent for a long time.

The really good talent is in decently-paid, low stress professions more highly respected than Politics.

Pumping septic tanks, for example.

If you notice, this article - tho it points out Hillary's failings - emphasizes that the MSM is promoting Obama and Swiftboating Hillary.

One of Ann’s recent columns from the past couple of weeks explains why those guys would not ever bother running.

It is truly depressing isn't it?
