I'm not sure that they are bad choices per se. These candidates are
all very accomplished people (except maybe Fred Thompson). The
problem is the lack of real leadership.

How is it not "...bad choices per se" if the candidates for _leader_ of
the U.S. lack the ability to provide real leadership? We really need to
wake up.
