I agree about a messy election, but I don't see the harm in having Campbell in charge for a while.

Sure, but only for the short term, and it needs to be very clear that he's going to shift over once we find someone new.

'We'? Argh. They.

Incidentally, at the moment, I'm still inclined to vote Bartlett above anyone else.

Yeah. I've pretty much given up on RL politics ever making sense, and am slowly retreating into the netherworld of The West Wing.

Kind of liability if your commander-in-chief insists on leading his forces into battle each engagement.

Mind you, I could think of a few RL leaders who would benefit from the experience.

I'm no fan of Robert Heinlein's politics, but I like his idea in Starship Troopers where only those who have already fought in battle may send others out to do the same.

Lemme get this straight.... In the UK, you have a politician named Kennedy who's a notorious drunkard. You're gonna get rid of him?

Fascinating. We have a politician named Kennedy in the US who's a notorious drunkard. He keeps getting elected over and over and over again. :lol:
If at first you don't succeed, give up. There's no sense getting frustrated.

And they're both liberals too.

Didn't Ted Kennedy give up alcohol?
