You have described my own political journey, very well. I am not as old nor as educated as was he. But, I have taken the time to read what Bush himself says -- not relying on what people like Viggo here seem to imagine he is saying -- and I believe Tolkien would too. I see him making the right choices, and for the right reasons, and I believe Tolkien would too.

I enjoyed your very knowledgeable post and opinion.

He would certainly take Bush over Gore, I think - notwithstanding the unfortunate fact that he's American.

He'd probably like the ranch. He'd probably hate the strip malls in Crawford.
