In the old days elite opinion held that Mr. Bush was a scripted trust-fund dullard whose rise was greased by luck and birth. Those were the days. Those of us who stood with Mr. Bush then were a small and hardy band of criticized contrarians. It was fun. We had secret handshakes and everything. Now everyone's in on the act. I will admit to being one of those who held "the old...elite opinion". (I pinged Howlin, because she, more than anyone else, can vouch for that!) I guess now, I'm just "one of the crowd", but I surely DO like the man!
I'll vouch for that; there were long periods of time when Amelia and I didn't discuss candidates, period.......LOL.
