Exactly. There are dead people who would have a better chance of running the country in an effective manner.
One thing that still concerns me is who the running mates could be. Bush is a moron, but Cheney certainly doesn't help. His direct link to some of think tanks (PNAC, AEI, JINSA, CFR, etc.) certainly means that policy has been set outside of the confines of the White House and the administration. These think tanks have become havens from the political elite and allow for a continuity of government that have no oversight nor have any accountability to the voters. This is where the seat of power is shifting to in Washington, and only those who are insolated from the think tank establishment stand a chance of setting a new course.
