I voted for Bush Sr myself because Clinton was an unknown at the time. However Clinton grew on me after a few years.
I do think that Bush Sr was a very smart statesman. Can’t say the same for his son.

Both are pandering to their respective bases, and anyone in the middle (moderate to center/right) is left out in the cold.
I also agree that Bush Sr was an adept statesman, as evidenced by his nearly excellent handling of Gulf War I. I say nearly because he failed to finish the job and left the mess for Junior to handle. Or, more accurately, horribly mishandle.
Well, at least Fred Dalton Thompson will ride in to save the day, right? Or is it Giuliani? McCain?
