Why is Chris Matthews being so honest about US presidential elections?
MATTHEWS: Why do Democrats keep running these weird presidential candidates, who always seem—ever since Jack Kennedy and maybe, well, Bill Clinton, they always lose the personality question. They always seem geekier, nerdier than the Republican guy. Why is that the case?
DEAN: How do you really feel about that, Chris?
MATTHEWS: Well, it's true. It's an objective assessment. Look at Dukakis in the tank. That‘s an objective reality. I mean, Mondale.
DEAN: Let me tell you -- let me tell you what we have to do.
MATTHEWS: Jesus, a good guy, but unacceptable on television.
The Republicans, they get the charm school. They got Reagan. They have got this guy George W. Bush. You know, they seem to run charming people.
DEAN: What Democrats have to do is talk about their values. People vote on values. They don't vote on position papers.
MATTHEWS: No, they vote on personalities.
And thats why I believe the people of the United States are getting what they deserve.
If you folks would get to know candidiates' issues and not just that they smoked a cigar while cutting a promo on Michael Moore, then I wouldn't have to post here.
