Nostatic,

I disagree, I am generally pretty fair. I said Obama gave a good speech (though he sounded like a Republican most of the time) and I said Clinton did well (whom I cannot stand). I missed little johns, but I heard it was OK as well. Did you watch it? What was your opinion? I don't think we're off base. The guy is just bland, and I think his handlers aren't fairing too well either.
I think Kerry is weak on pretty much every front. That may be part of what disgusts me about this election. It is a choice between dumb and dumberer (you can put whichever you want in the dumberer role). The lesser of two evils (actually 4 evils). I see nothing to get excited about, but rather fear from what each respective "leader" will do.

Clinton had his issues, but I found him to be a very smart man who was skilled at finding common centrist ground and building coalitions/consensus. I could at least get somewhat excited about the prospect that he would/could do something. While I didn't agree with much of Reagan's policy/ideas, I at least respected his inner commitment. Nixon was a megalomaniac, but brilliant in many ways.

I don't think you guys are off base. But I also don't think those who bash Bush are off base. More's the pity.
