Presidential Politics in Endless Cycle

Maybe the New York Times could have saved some ink this year...

In the span of this campaign, proof that his judgment is superior to that of [his opponent] has been provided by their respective choices for Vice President… In the brief period since nomination, [opponent’s vice presidential candidate] has already proved from his injudicious, intemperate remarks that he is utterly inadequate.

--The New York Times, October 1968, endorsing Humphrey over Nixon

While we're on the topic here's some damning praise of the GOP vice presidential nominee from California's top Republican:

Brown: Do you think she is she qualified to be president?

Schwarzenegger: I think that she will get to be qualified.

Brown: She will get there? What do you mean? She's not ready yet?

Schwarzenegger: By the time she is sworn in, I think she will be ready. You get to get up to speed. I know, when I became governor, there were a lot of things I did not know. The answer is: Do you have the will? Do you have the will to educate yourself? Do you have the will to get up to speed? Do you have the will? Are you a sponge that absorbs information very quickly? And that's the kind of person that she is. And, I think that is exactly what she would do, also, if she becomes vice president.
