Of the 9, Who Would "Grow" Most as Person & Leader

[JustJoe]

in the Presidency? Who would likely change most,
become more liberal or conservative domestically
& in foreign affairs? Who would learn quickest
how to bring his or her agenda into reality?

1. Clark would grow the most. . .

. . .I think most people will be impressed by the way Clark handles domestic issues and the economy.

2. I don't know if "grow" is the right description for both questions.

I think Dean will change to whatever benefits him politically. Clark on the other hand - what you see is what you get. In addition, Clark would do the best job of making his agenda a reality because he is a quick study and non partisan. In addition, because he is non partisan he will be able to appeal directly to the people to move his agenda forward.

3. Dean is already a leader

congressmen, etc. are followers not leaders.

One of Deans statements said: if science changes the facts, i'll change my opinion - when bush see science change the facts - he changes the science.

In other words, Dean will definitely grow and not be afraid to change his mind for what is best for our country - instead of trying to hold on to their dogma no matter what - like some candidate do

4. "Congressmen, etc." are followers not leaders?

That's quite a blanket statement.

5. I should have said besides your candidate...

I'm for Dean, and I think he would
grow because he's a pragmatist and would
figure out fresh ways to get things done.
Clark, because he has such little political
experience, would be bound to grow a lot.
But as for who would grow the MOST,
I'd say Edwards & Moseley Braun. Edwards cuz he seems
so young & untested, and really the same for Moseley
Braun. They both seem like they would grow under
fire if they didn't get burned up.
Lieberman's done growing. Sharpton & Kucinich
seem to me so ... aggressive & uncompromising
that maybe they would just keep on with my way or
the hiway. Kerry I think would be a better President
than he is a candidate. Running for Prez seems to
bring out the weakness in him, or some unwillingness
to be bold or something.

6. Edwards is FIFTY YEARS OLD.

He's older now than President Clinton was when he was elected.

Also, he's already lost a child. You don't get more "tested" than burying a kid.

7. Sharpton or Clark

It would have to be those with the least experience in elective ofice.
