The guy even went on TVG at Del Mar(again for no particular reason.) He and Nixon aren't uniter types. They are fighter types. Those types do poorly with this job. Those who are most correct for the job(personality-wise) have done best with it. Those who atleast create the illusion of being a negotiator/uniter type have done the best at handling the job.( Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton types. ) For sure, there is one of those here(OBAMA,) and there is the more combative type personality running against him(McCain.) This is primarily a negotiating job, and it suits certain people better than others. To be honest, Hilary wasn't the right personality for the job either(at all.) OBAMA has the right personality for it. Obviously, politics of somebody are a factor, but people need to look at the type of person best equipped for this type of a job. It's a frustrating job..They have the responsibility, but not the power they often would like to have. It, no doubt, would feel like a no-win situation to most who did it. That's the way it's gunna feel to McCain too.

politicians going on public forums is just part of the job. citing examples of that as a disqualifier for public office is like suggesting pets that need attention aren't really good pets.
we both live in california so our votes are meaningless anyways. obama gets 56 electoral votes regardless.
i just hate seeing the continuation of this politics as war paradigm. it's gone way beyond playing to the end of the election. it's full time now and it's hurting the country. i like that both these guys are less partisan than the other options in each party.
i feel optimistic.
