You miss Howard Dean?
Following the same line of thought, I miss Bozo the Clown.
Dean was, and is, a load of hot air, within the context of Presidential politics. Emotion is wonderful for entertainment, but for the demands of the job he sought, it is unsuitable and even dangerous. Me, I take that position too seriously to want to see it entrusted to an entertaining blowhard.
Remember, the Pres of the US has his fingers near the Red Button. You want an emotional drama queen in that position? I don't.
Having emotion is not the required attribute for the job. Being able to lead is the required attribute. Leadership includes the demand to make unpopular decisions and having the sand in one's craw to follow through. See Reagan or Truman for good examples.
