Some random commentary from people who -- like myself -- don't know shit about shit. Some pretty laughable stuff - from both the left and the right. Some good to laugh with, some good to laugh at. It can pretty much be summed up as follows:

The right: Inexperienced!
The left: Charismatic!
Twisp: Insubstantial!

Yeah, we'll see. Lack of experience has been known to not hurt a candidate (Bush; and don't give me any of that yank-yank-squirt-squirt Texas governor bullshit), and charisma has been known to help (Clinton). In the end, I think that the guy who said "Now Kerry doesn't have to lose the election all alone" put it best.
