Sorry, I didn't finish that last thought. I think it is important to remember that much of what a President focuses his energies on once he is in office is out of his control. He can use the "bully pulpit" to express his preference for particular policy directions or initiatives, and he can try to advance the causes that he spoke about in the campaign. But he will also have to deal with all sorts of issues and crises that he didn't envision when he was campaigning (particularly in foreign affairs, which have received scant attention in this campaign), and he will have to coerce/cajole/impel others to join in support of his causes. To me this means that the "issues" part of the campaign -- while important -- is not the whole picture. We also need to take the measure of the man (or woman, whenever that day finally comes). So as much as I am disappointed in the "show business" aspects of our current political landscape, there is some value in trying to rate the intangibles. Just a thought.
