America seldom elects a really bright person to the office. True, Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, but a Rhodes Scholar from Arkansas. That's a long long way from first in class at West Point.

I don't think he will go anywhere on his own, but he does present some worry if he is actually being groomed for the Vice Presidency.

The guy really doesn't strike me as all that quick.

I respect his service to the country, but his lack of political experience will show immediately.

Methinks Bush will crush him if he happened to win the Democratic nomination.

My only worry is how would Bush do in a debate with him?

Not really. In the "modern" era, Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, Hoover, Johnson, Nixon, Carter and Clinton all had very high IQ's. Granted only the first on the list was a really successful president, although one can argue about Wilson, who had his pluses and minuses (but is overrated still although his stock is slipping a bit, in part because he was a diehard racist).

Hillary needs military cred on the ticket
