These men are going to get millions of votes come Tuesday, so somebody must not think they are all that bad. Individual voters are a lot smarter than we are. They are quietly lining up to pull the levers for the value system they believe is better for the country. They know that, by this time, almost everything the candidates say is pure blather aimed at getting media attention. We in the media keep worrying about who the candidates are.
Voters are concerned about what they represent.
And that, not their personalities, is what will determine the winner. Having your cake Bush represents the ethos of the angry white male, although these days that includes men and women of all colors. It's the attitude that prevails at the lunch tables of local Rotary meetings, where there is bitter talk about tax burdens and bully bureaucrats and too much government. And quit worrying about the hole in the ozone. The sky is not falling.
