I'm coming to a preliminary conclusion: what I want most in a President and Vice-President is somebody that's smarter than me. err, "Someone who is smarter than I." Still. Not necessarily older, not necessarily a match to me in race or gender or religion. Really, not necessarily someone I agree with all of the time. Or a great speechmaker, warrior, lawyer, or even diplomat. Just brains, and clue, and honesty.

Well...

I'm pretty sure that, say, Tibor, is smarter than me. So are Steven Hawking, Ben Bernanke, and the president of my University.

I'm not sure about the comparative intelligence of, say, myself and Harry Truman, but he had lots more horse sense than me.

Somehow, I'd really rather have Harry Truman as president.
