| I believe the overall quality of US Presidents has been dropping for some time. And you can't blame everything on Bush. Congress is no better and, as the Economist pointed out, the approval ratings for Congress have fallen under those of Bush.
I also believe that most of the US is right-of-center, but not right wing. I bet a Rockefeller Republican would do well, except he/she would never win a primary. Because of the inane system used to choose candidates, they tend to end up on either end of the spectrum and you only have the two choices. Probably better off when candidates were chosen in smoke-filled back rooms.
