The General thought about it only briefly. "Maybe, but I doubt it. A Technocrat is a Technocrat. And he could have made a better move than appointing Booth as his vice president. Booth’s another Technocrat, for God’s sake. Steele got his vice presidency running on a coalition ticket. Adams knew what he was doing, marrying the Democrats with the Technocrats. You’d think Steele would have noticed, having served a full term with him. I’d have thought Steele had enough sense to realize he still needs that coalition, but I guess he’s got the standard Technocrat blind spot about people’s needs. Must be why he’s let this Comp Army thing rot on his doorstep."
