I can't say that the last year or so of campaigning for the presidency has been this country's best days. But I don't see the next seven months being any better. While the quality of presidential candidates has been going downhill as I age, I really never thought it would sink this low. I had thought that GW was the nadir. I was wrong as Barack has done a good job of screwing up as badly as George. One thing that George had over Barack is that he actually believed what he said - no matter how silly he sounded - and was willing to fight for it. The idea of Barack believing in something and actually fighting for it has not been something I have seen. Of course, Mitt has difficulty espousing the same cause over a short period of time; he almost makes Barack seem to have deep-seated beliefs. I lived in Massachusetts when Mitt was governor. I thought he was a lousy governor and can't see him having improved over the years.
