You're so right, Keedy. The mediocrity of that list is alarming. The list represents fully 5% of both the House and Senate and several pretty important cabinet secretaries.

Personally, I can't project any of them into the oval office. In comparison, Sarah Palin is probably just as attractive a candidate as any on that list. But that sure doesn't suggest that any of them would be the type of person that 300 million people should feel comfortable following and being affected by their judgement in governing the country.

Where did all our leaders go?
