Apparently, Bush became a part-owner in a professional baseball team. He really does not seem smart enough to be president of the United States. The same kind of questions should be asked. At least, Al Gore has some history in working his way up in the political world. He also has little history, except his political offices, of accomplishments that make him the best choice of the Democrats.
Money is obviously the critical qualification to become president of the United States.
The days when each party held a nominating convention are over. The conventions are simply held to confirm who raised the most money and gained the support of the major political party contributors. This election year may very well signal the beginning of a completely new era in choosing the president. Primary elections will become a thing of the past. CNN can report the amount of money each aspirant to high office has raised and the latest poll of political bosses.
