    Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about Stockdale?  I didn't
    see the whole debate, but the part I saw didn't leave me with the
    impression that he was any worse than the others.  Just because
    someone isn't a polished (some would say slick :-)  ) orator
    doesn't mean they aren't gifted in other areas.  In fact, if all
    a person *can* do is look good in public, then they are probably
    lacking in other skills.  Stockdale is a respected member of a
    think-tank and the author of several books, so he can't be a
    doddering old fool.

What bothered me about Stockdale was the number of times that he either didn't
have an opinion on a subject and showed that he hadn't really thought about it,
or that his position comprised a rambling collection of unfocused thoughts.
