I think this election is going to be about a whole stinking lot of things... and images is certainly in the top five. When November 4 rolls around, it's going to be about the economy. We're still losing jobs every quarter, and more people are realizing how bad our dependence on oil is. In the end, this is what drives my decision process. I've done a lot of thinking this year about what makes a good president... and executive as opposed to a legislature. One answer: having a vision and having the ability to make others' believe in and work for your vision.
Between now and then, though, there's a lot of other things to sort through. I'm terribly afraid that there's still a lot of folks in this country that in the privacy of a voting booth are not going to be able to vote for an African-American newcomer when the other choice is John McCain. sigh
I'm not real sure why Sarah Palin gave the Republican ticket such a bounce... really?? this is someone people want one 72-y-o, cancer survivor's heartbeat away from the presidency? Maybe it is about image?
I love having the Washington Post as my local newspaper. I read The Fix all the time.
