Ditto Colleenky-dink and three08. (eta: AND MT) When I first started hearing the “Who would you rather have a beer with” question in ’04, I knew we were in trouble. THIS is what mattered to slightly more than half of the voting population. “What’s the Matter With Kansas?” I will tell you: The Rs were better at manipulating the media and the public with emotional framing than the Ds.
I don’t want to have a beer with my President. I want to know that he has sound judgement backed by intelligence and the emotional stability to lead a cabinet and agency heads who are selected because they are experts in their fields and not because they tow the limited-issues conservative line.
