I *Wonder if this years election will inspire another Nigel Hamilton like the"Bill Clinton mastering the presidency" ; what real concepts will be used inPolitical Hygiene of something of Charlie Savage's "Takeover : the return of theimperial presidency and the subversion of American democracy" ; what real needsdo we have to add to the job if we were to continue as described "The Americanpresidency : origins and development, 1776-2007" just published by Sidney MMilkis, 2008!
What will be the real focus that best describes our leadership when we needpatience if the job looks to be one that "no-one would really want it"; or thejob calls for skill in the area that any and no candidate is equiped as aperson, by nature of the job?
Maybe my next read will be "The Effective presidency : lessons on leadershipfrom John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush" by Erwin C Hargrove, also published in2008 !

* Wonder- My Wondering is from an article as described in this excert from this paper: The Albuquerque Journal (NM)
Title: Advice to Obama: 'Don't Respond to Bill' - Arizona governor kicks off candidate's New Mexico drive

Page: C1 SANTA FE — Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano has some advice on how presidential hopeful Barack Obama should handle criticism from his topopponent's famous hubby. "If I'm Obama, I don't respond to Bill Clinton. I thinkthat's a trap," Napolitano said during a swing through New Mexico on Tuesday to campaign for Obama in the lead-up to the state's Feb. 5 Democratic presidential caucus. "Let some of us surrogates go out and say, 'Hey, wait a minute: Let's fight thiscampaign on facts,' '' she added during a talk with Obama volunteers at theHotel Santa Fe.And for anyone who believes the U.S. senator from Illinois is too in experiencedto be in the Oval Office, she added: "I've heard that argument before before. Where? I heard it in 1992 — when Bill Clinton was running."
Napolitano's trip was the first in what could be a two-week parade of so-called surrogate visits by big name politicos plugging for Obama or Hillary Clinton, the two front-runners in the battle for the Democratic nomination.
Napolitano's stops in Santa Fe and Albuquerque to chat with volunteers and undecided voters came the day after Obama and Hillary Clinton engaged in their most contentious debate yet.
Obama maintains that Clinton's husband, two-term former President Bill Clinton, has misrepresented his record, and the two candidates had it out on a SouthCarolina stage as thirdplace candidate John Edwards looked on.
"I can't tell who I'm running against sometimes," Obama said during the debate, referring to both Clintons.
"It's hard to have a straightup debate with you because you never take responsibility for any vote," Clinton shot back at one point.
Napolitano, who grew up in Albuquerque and graduated from Sandia High School in1975, was careful not to add much fuel to the fire during two talks in Santa Fe, which came before an evening appearance in Albuquerque. However, she did manage a few subtle digs at the Clinton camp. Napolitano said Bill Clinton has "gotten a little surly" during the campaign and also maintained that Hillary Clintonis "not the candidate of change."
A Journal message to the Clinton camp seeking comment on Napolitano's remarks wasn't immediately returned. As a well-respected, two term female Democratic governor from the West, a region seen as a vital political battleground in the 2008 presidential race, Napolitano's endorsement was a prize political catch for Obama. She said her decision boiled down in part to who she believes can best makesorely needed changes in Washington, D.C.
"Nothing happens there. … It's a lot of the same old people hashing out thesame old things," Napolitano said, adding that when it comes to tackling important Western issues such as sensible energy, immigration and public-landspolicies, Washington's answer "was a big, fat zilch."
Obama "has a remarkably large potential — not just to win the White House, but to be one of our country's great presidents," she added.
Santa Fe rally-
The Obama campaign plans to continue its New Mexico push today with a Santa Fe rally to announce endorsements from prominent New Mexico backers.
StateTreasurer James Lewis is one top catch: The highest-elected black politician inthe state told the Journal on Tuesday that he will be a state coordinator for Obama.
Today's rally is slated for 1:30 p.m. on the west steps of the state Capitol.
