Best President, Not Candidate

[Akno21]

Strongly agree

I think Gephardt would have made a slightly better president.

He'd be a better candidate.

I think Kerry may not have been the best candidate but he would have been the best President.  He had the best resume of anyone 'applying for the job' of anyone in my lifetime.  He understood that 99% of the issues aren't black and white.

My thoughts exactly.

STRONGLY disagree. Dean was the only real Washington outsider of the group, and his fiscally conservative, socially-left-leaning policies and fiery attitude would have made him a solid President.

Dean was fiscally Conservative? If you take that he wanted to balance the budget quickly, then yes, but he also wanted to repeal all the Bush Tax Cuts and offer Universal Health Care.

John Kerry had the experience neccessary to be President, he had been through many foriegn policy crises, he could work with other nations, and understood that issues are not black and white.
