I know what you're saying is mostly correct, LadyT, but I have been permanently scarred by the 2000 race.
I still have no comprehension how people could look at Bush & Gore on stage together & think "yeah, that Bush guy is a better candidate for President." I remember watching a debate w/ my wife, and we were cracking up at how simplistic & fumbling Bush was next to Gore; we were actually embarassed for him, and I thought the pundits might be too hard on him as a result. As soon as the debate ended, the 1st comment was Peggy Noonan saying "I think George Bush just closed the deal," and a bunch of other mediabots chiming in with how Gore killed himself on style points.
I have very little faith in the electorate of this country.
