Sounds like it was a team failure. The PR people should have advertised Stockdale's qualities more and let him be himself.

I thought Stockdale was a bad choice because of age and he just seemed distant and unengaged. If that's because of the hearing loss, I don't know. I doubt Seneca was a humble, bystander.

Disclaimer: I voted for Perot/Stockdale.

Sounds like the failure of a political culture. Politics shouldn't have PR people.

Wait, think that through.

Why should politics not have people whose entire job is to manage public relations?
