I voted for Bush and not Perot.

But seriously, Clinton or Bush?

In a country of over 300 million that is the best we can do?

Clinton or Bush explains much of the problems/misery of the past 20 years.

Part of the problem has been our self-pride. Self-pride is boasting in ourselves, rather than in boasting in what God can and does do.

With self-pride will come perfectionism, and with that, effective men with checkered backgrounds will start to be screened out. It was dismaying to see the lead up to the 2012 presidential race. Freepers and Americans in general bashed one another over the head about Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, and a host of other people all of whom would have seriously gone after Barack Obama’s political hide and any of whom we would have been glad to have in the White House rather than Barack. Because, oh, that person has such a stark weakness somewhere. And so Mitt, acting a consummate mush, slipped in, and proceeded to lose.

I’ve seen what looks like a bit of a better approach this time around. Start rooting for a dream team which could take various configurations but which cluster around approximately the same set of notable men and women. Let the politicians themselves carry on their own battles, their own vying for dominance. The constructive conciliator is more likely to win.

That and the fact that the Earth is bipolar. :)
