The reason that a lot of people IMO think the Democrats are elitist is because that is what they see PC.
I couldn’t agree more. In the 2004 debates, Kerry was the obvious winner in terms of intellect. However, his smug annoying face just said to me, “I’m smarter than you and you know it”. I’m a democrat (just!) but Kerry is just too much for me. I wish he would go away and stop pretending like he matters still.
I’m not saying that I want someone less intelligent (like, you know you who) but I *am* saying that I want someone intelligent, but humble. Confident, but skeptical and willing to listen. I want a leader, but not a dictator.
It’s a hard role to fill, but I believe I have not seen ANYONE on either side that I could vote for, yet.
