He can make small talk, drink a few beers, and make everyone feel like he's just one of the guys. But if I want to have an intelligent conversation, I'd choose Gore. He's unbelievably smart, a good decision maker, and real presidential material. I guess what I'm trying to say is being a nice guy in social circles does not make Bush a nice guy in political situations, nor does it make him a good President (preaching to the choir, I'm sure). I want a President who is smarter than me; not one who can do yard work on his ranch while smiling at the cameras for six straight weeks.
