Indeed Ustwo, I've always been a fan of Clinton's political ability. Same politics or no, the man is a great study in that arena.
Anyways, to the issue at hand. IIRC, I was talking to my stockbroker a few months back who is a good friend of the Bushes, and knew George W before his Texan days. Apparently he was a smooth talker, and able to form well and thought out sentences that were very logical and sounded great. Problem is, he tried to run for Congress with sort of a Yale educated accent. He wasn't able to relate to his constituents. So he spent his time learning to talk and relate to the people he was going to be representing before he ran for Governor. So thus, we got the stammering, Bushism producing, lovable doofus that we all know and love (not to mention great material for SNL skits). Personally, I think it's a case of his brain going faster than his tongue, because I know that happens to me and I lose track, mispronounce words, stammer and stumble, when I know I have the perfect thing to say in my head. My Government teacher in high school, who was a Kerry supporter, stated that, "There's no way that you can get to the Oval Office, and be unintelligent, it's impossible."
