Eff dat!

I don't have the time, the inclination, or the popularity!

Besides...I know Dave Brown. I am pretty happy with him. It's not as easy as we think to do his job. Is he perfect? Nope. But show me someone who will do better. You know, if there WAS someone who could do better, I think HE would be glad to step down, too.

Very often, we THINK there is a simple solution to all of our problems, but this is politics...it's not always that simple. It's all about constant comprimise, as various elements of the constituency all try to get what THEY want, often at cross-purposes to what OTHERS want.
We also tend to delude ourselves as to the power that DB and the president's office actually HAVE. It's really up to the EC, not to the president. And they often disagree completely, the EC is hardly a bunch of old boys who all love each other...
