Consider the writing of author Richard Eyre.
"I think we asked the wrong questions in nominating our major party candidates. We asked who we liked, who was most like us, who had the most useful experience, who flip flopped, who was safe, who was a hero, who could protect America best, who could restore our image abroad, who was most genuine, who had the best body language. Not bad questions, just not the question. The question, the core, the key, is what does America (and the world) need most, and who can supply it. If that question had really been probed, we would have realized that in this time, it is economic and moral leadership that trumps everything else, and that we need a leader who can restore order and prudence to the monetary and fiscal and regulatory policies of this country and of the globe even as he or she connects what works practically to what is right morally. If that had been the focus(someone else would be the Democratic and Republican candidates.)"
