I just do not know what to make of the fact that the two candidates who are by far the most competent – Romney and Clinton – are the two I loathe the most, the two who seem least willing to run on their own competence rather than on their their PR directors’ advice. If only they would let me trust them by trusting me first, then I could be happy with either of them. As it is, I must support McCain and Obama.
I’m not sure Clinton is the most competent. She’s just the most competent at conveying the sense that she is the most competent. I mean, she’s not going to win on charm, is she?
