Arnold Kling en TCS: The Humility Factor

"McCain seems eager to portray government as a problem-solver and himself as a heroic leader. I do not see much of a humility factor.

Senators Obama and Clinton frighten me more than McCain. Neither of them has overseen an operation any larger than a Senate staff. They only know political salesmanship and Senate procedure. They have never had to implement anything, and it shows. As they make their promises to the party faithful, the phrase "writing checks you can't cash" keeps occurring to me, like a song you can't get out of your head.

The prospect of President Obama or President Clinton ramming through judicial appointments and legislation is hardly appetizing. None of the leading contenders for President in 2008 has the humility factor going for them. You just have to close your eyes and hope that whoever we elect does only minimal damage."
