23. no, i'm not buying
Its a very lovely sentiment, but its very disconcerting that the man most clearly qualified for
the job, won't do it because he believes he'll have more political influence outside of a failed
political system. As a progressive leftist, i concur with that sentiment, but when the former VP,
and president elect believes the system is that failed... its disconcerting to say the least.

Very subtly i'll feel let down by him if he does not run. I feel a lot of what is gifting his
film greatness is his own heroic journey, and his entitlement to the presidency. When that last
link is severed by a non-announcement, i'm concerned that he'll just become another film maker,
and lord knows we've got enough of those.
