I see what you are saying, but for me---at least as "W" is concerned---those things show me very little about his ability to be the President---on his own terms...but apparently those things mattered to a lot of people...lol

I really want to believe that but even if he came from a family of respected politicians and had other networks his criticizers appreciated (which I think he does but critics will be just that in my opinion no matter what you do), I still don't think he would be given the benefit of the doubt for a number of reasons I won't even get into.

But, we will see what happens...
