Claymore, for a man who "tries not to gloat," this sounds a whole lot like gloating. And for a man who believes in "governing from the middle," you have posted a lot of very extreme stuff in this Forum. But I will give you one thing. When you call Bush the "better man," you are true to yourself, and to the tradition that says, "the best man is the one with the most money."

Are you by chance, a disciple of Ayn Rand?
