whose command of the English language is in serious question
whose standard reply to serious policy questions is that he will surround himself with people who can think for him
who cruised through those 3 debates with almost NOTHING on the issues and his so-called plans, but with REPEATED campaign slogans
who didn't face ONE single question about any of the above from the media pundits who were so BLATANTLY pimping for him from the beginning, when the same pundits VERY unfairly distorted Gore's image to a public which was swallowing everything they "reported"
As Al Franken put it : "This is a guy who could not find oil in Texas"
