Bush, Bill Clinton, &c &c)  He had a long-standing reputation - since 1973 in NYC - and had dabbled with the idea for several previous elections.  He spent a year-and-a-half learning how a Presidential campaign is run, then doing it.  Is this PC up for the same, or is he planning to just ex nihilo get the goodies?</blockquote>
