I can't think of any politician I agree with on all of the big (for me) issues. Who would you have picked (among eligible, qualified people in the US now)? Cheers, Scott.

First agreement between opposing "sides" in the Politics forum, and... :-) I would have preferred either McCain OR Bradley over current crop. That would have been a race worth seeing. But, as long as Bush keeps listening to his advisors, he's not doing all that badly. Regards, -scott anderson

Post #13,866 by bepatient 10/17/01 8:18:59 PM Reply	Thats an easy one... Me, of course ;-) Right after I'm done being the King of Afghanistan I think I may find time. Bradley/McCain was the race I wanted. Were either of >them< even ideal candidates. Not really. Its very hard, in realistic fashion, who would make a good President. BUT, I can guarantee you...in todays environment...the ideal candidate would probably never even run...let alone get elected. The truth is just too unpopular in today's environment.
