Wrong Graham running?
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/6557214.htm

This month's Graham ''family vacation'' in Iowa showcased the candidate's wife, four daughters and 10 grandchildren in a state known for its appreciation of wholesome family values.

The most significant outcome was the coming out of Adele, who emerged as a stirring speaker with all the charisma her husband is accused of lacking.

...

Adele brushes off criticism that her husband -- with his inclination for long sentences and complex thoughts -- is lacking charisma, turning the criticism into an attack on the oratorical capacity of the man she wants Bob Graham to oust.

''I must say,'' she said, peering over a copy of Friday's Des Moines Register, ``when George Bush was running for president, I always felt stressed when he spoke. What would be the next sentence, and how would it come out, and has he been told exactly what to say?''

2. The ad hominen attack on dim son
...needs to be made more often by prominent individuals. Having an idiot in power is set as the norm by the media in order to get the stupid votes. This norm can be changed if all the candidates address it. It shouldn't be off limits. It's really an attack on his competence to hold office.
