Ernie, Well put. Which is why finding someone like this, in either party, is probably a fantasy. I think that Mitt Romney comes the closest of any republican politician/ex businessman, in my realm of knowledge. Hopefully, there is a sleeper democrat, in the upcoming free-for-all, who will emerge and surprise us all.

Which is not something we tend to reward culturally, so it is rare to find in our top leaders.
