I'm inclined to agree that the quality of our politicians has gotten worse. The
same holds true for our Presidential candidates. In my post-Watergate youth
there were few candidates who frightened me, but in recent cycles most of the
candidates have been people I wouldn't hire for ANY job, let alone the position
of President.
