As a Dartmouth alum, I just voted in the hotly-contested (for an academic institution) Board of Trustee election. Yes, I voted for Stephen Smith.

1. Barrett:Roger,
Score another vote for independent thinking! I hope your candidate is elected and once elected is successful.
While great leaders have vision and people follow, they also serve their constituents.
It sounds like a lot of change is needed at Dartmouth – like so many other institutions.
Apr 1, 2007 - 11:26 am 2. ricpic:I wonder why, in the 6 plus years of the Bush Administration, no one within the administration has been able to convince Bush to give regular fireside chats, in the FDR tradition. Say, one prime time network TV half hour talk every three months. In fact, I don’t know whether such a recommendation has ever been made to the President. But I would be stunned if it hasn’t been. To the argument that Bush is a poor communicator, these “chats” would actually be highly scripted speeches, at which Bush has been known to excel.

Oops. Should have been posted to the Matthew Dowd story. Sorry.
