just a comment about "electability"
Advertisements [?]
approximately 4 years ago - there was a governor running for president

the candidate had approximately 6 years of experience in any "official government cpapacity" - he had never held public office before nor did he show any interest in holding public office prior to being elected governor

he had no experience in foreign affairs, and by his own admission had no interest in it

his education credentials consisted of an MBA with "gentlemen C" average

his excursions into the business field consisted of taking over a few companies and having to be bailed out when they tanked

he had insider washington connections - but portrayed himself as a DC outsider...

his campaign ran on a recycled platform/ideas that had previous been shown to fail, and surrounded himself with recycled washington insiders

His military record was suspect, he had a reputation for drinking and drugging in his younger days and no real proof that this had changed

doesn't sound like he had much "electablity" appeal -- but elected or selected - this man has his butt sitting in the oval office
