DougR, No argument on that one. I'm not enthused about any of our choices. And speaking of "Wag the Dog," I'm from Michigan where we had our own version of "Old Shoe" complete with parades and accompanying media idiocy. This poor joker was in the wrong place at the wrong time, was captured and somehow this made him a "hero." Anyway, I'm glad we can at least vote for our choices even though I feel the choices are poor ones. For a nation that gave birth to the likes of Lincoln and a number of others who had at least moments of greatness, I just wish we could do better. Cheers!
