"He is not a brave man."

There is so much crap in this article, I'll just respond to this one item. The president of the United States lives under the constant threat of assassination, and everyone running for president knows that. At least 6 of the last 11 presidents have been shot, shot at, or had violent intruders penetrate the White House grounds or other presidential quarters (Truman, Kennedy, Ford, Reagan, Clinton, and W). In additon to this, two presidential candidates (RFK and Wallace) were shot in the last 35 years. All presidents receive innumerable death threats. As for Bush, his processing of the war against terror means he will have a bullseye on his back for the rest of his life. A coward would not take that on, no way. Apparently Harley Sorensen has doubts about his own capacity for courage, or he wouldn't be so obsessed about Bush.

This is so understood that some people choose to not seek the office because of it.
