Reply #55: Not really, he could have tried to retain his seat in the Senate

[madmunchie]

- he didn't.

You could name your polls - FOX - to say that he would have won, there are others that say he wouldn't have won.

He is a terrible choice. He showed terrible judgment in his short career in public service. Most of what he has done he can continue to do in the private sector as far as helping the poor.

His lack of expertise in many other areas are just to vast to give him a "chance" to be another "OTJ" POTUS. Of all of the candidates, he is the weakest because while not alone in making some of the terrible decisions, he is alone in that those decisions were the sum of the only ones that he made. The other candidates have a much more extensive history in which to study. At least some of their "terrible" decisions (and not all of them have this baggage) have a counterbalance of sound and good decisions. That comes from serving in the public sector for many years and not just 1 short incomplete term.

JE rarely mentions his record - because it is nothing to be proud of. He definetly cannot run on it, the best he can do is to aplogize for horrible votes that he cast.
