    Caldera sounds like the opposite of a demagogue. From what little I've found, he sounds like a practical man that wore himself out building unpopular consensus about hard problems. Forgive a stupid question, but would you say he ultimately let the country down, the country let him down, both, neither?

      He pardoned Chavez. If that's not letting the country down, I don't know what is.

        I won't begrudge you any grudges. I've still got an evil eye for Ralph Nader, a sometimes third party presidential candidate who tore that mask off in the final days of the Nov. 7, 2000 election to campaign, not for his party to get votes essential for the party's standing on state ballots, but to make sure votes went to his kindred-spirit Republican George W. Bush. Nader was the third man on Bush/Cheney's ticket. So keep stoking the fires of hatred for Caldera, and warm yourself by them as I do. It's cozy. Familiar. Am curious one thing, though, does your contempt extend to his pardoning Communist guerrillas as well?
