You see, you shouldn’t care whether a candidate is someone you’d like to have a beer with. Nor should you care about politicians’ sex lives, or even their spending habits unless they involve clear corruption. No, what you should really look for, in a world that keeps throwing nasty surprises at us, is intellectual integrity: the willingness to face facts even if they’re at odds with one’s preconceptions, the willingness to admit mistakes and change course.

And that’s a virtue in very short supply. Moar

Well... ummmm.... yeah, I don't think I'd want to be Governed by anyone who's going to spend time having a beer with me, thank you very much.

On another hand... Krugman just might (if it's a good brewpub) and I think he could make a superb President, so....
