Jeff'ed,

A good friend has a son attending Yale so I know what the admission standards are for Yale. I work with 5 Harvard PHD's in economics so I konw what the requirements of Harvard are. I bring your education into beacuse it is very clear you are not qualified to attend either school yet you pretend you are qualified to rate the intelectual capacities of Kerry and Bush based on the campaign to date. Completely ignoring certain facts. The most glaring is that no senators saw Kerry write or sponsor bills that they saw as cutting edge or insightful. That the republicans as a part of their strategy never even listed Kerry as someone to watch in the senate. So it seems that this powerhouse intellectual has flown under the radar for most of his career. Except to gain notice as a political opportunist. Ronald Reagan had many conflicts with so called intellectuals. He pointed out what most people with any ecpirience know that at some point you have to make decisions and take action and then be held accountable for the same. Something intelectuals rarely do they leave it up tot others. And lastly as with most corporations the President is only as good as those around him. The president of the US or for a corp. provides the vision and others believe in in and execute the day to day details. People like Kerry or Al Gore are incapable of allowing others to shine brighter than themselves because it's alll about them. If you read interviews with Kerry over his whole life a pictue becomes very clear, it's all about him. A scary thought for a country and recent polls show fewer and fewer people are buying it as they learn more about him.
