"I see someone who has been lucky enough to be compared to Bill Clinton and Al Gore."
Since you just signed up today maybe you should elaborate on this.
I appreciate the opportunity. I am not a troll I have never posted on DU, I have posted on Daily Kos and I am disliked overthere and several posters have said my views are more comphortable over here some I am trying it. But I am a moderate. GWB wins if he is compared to Bill Clinton and he wins big if compaired to Al Gore, particulary what I have heard form Gore this year. But in my opinion something is missing from GWB. I could not put my finger on it but after watching replays of Reagan speeches it sort of came back to me. Reagan knew what to say when to say it and how to say it. They did not call him the great communicator for nothing, but it was more than that he was just that good. I did not agree with everthing he did, but I trusted his judgement as sound and in 1984 I cast my first vote for him. I do not have the same feeling about GWB, I think he was better than Gore, and from what I have heard from Gore lately I think a good bit better than Gore.
I hope this expains it better
