Reply #2: Damn! If you were able to make as good an analysis as this, I have a question... [View All]

Don't you think the Theme Du Jour of Obama being a Reaganite was over the top and kind of, well, nuts?

I will recommend this post because it is a thoughtful, intelligent analysis.

I won't judge its veracity right away. It is too good to make a snap judgment. I will give it some real thought. But I think you may be quite right.

Very nice work.

On Edit: I think you make an insightful comment about the "types" of presidents there are and what types of campaigns there are, but I am less convinced that it has some bearing, as a predicter, for what any individual will do.

In the end, one must bring one's personal experience about people to bear in forming an opinion. And ultimately, we are all trying to judge people's character from about 1,000 miles away.

So basically, all bets are off the table.
