Damn is that a long article. I'll have to read it fully later.
Quote:
Bush, Biden recalled, just looked at him, unflappably sure that the United States was on the right course and that all was well. '''Mr. President,' I finally said, 'How can you be so sure when you know you don't know the facts?'''
Biden said that Bush stood up and put his hand on the senator's shoulder. ''My instincts,'' he said. ''My instincts.''
Biden paused and shook his head, recalling it all as the room grew quiet. ''I said, 'Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough!'''

If all that Bush has is instincts then he's a fool. Gut instincts sometimes do work, and if backed up with real facts and reason are great things. They are also things that can sometimes backfire big time. I am going to presume that he does have more than just instincts guiding him.... If not, he wouldn't have made it this far, no matter how much money he has.
Can he do better? Sure. Can Kerry do better? Debatable. Is there someone out there who can do better than both of them? One can only hope.
