I disagree with your analysis. Becoming a president is not a version of Star Search.

Sure they have to work hard, blah, blah, blah. But they have thousands of handlers telling them exactly what to do, they just have to do it. Where's the challenge? Let's take a closer look: 1.) First you have to meet the minimum requirements. 2.) Next, you have to win the primary. This is a function of how good your PR team is at destroying the other guys. For example, Mr. Bush got the nomination after his team turned Mr. McCain into a sniveling coward. 3.) Finally you have to win the election. This has the same requirements as #2 except it's easier because you only have one guy to beat. What about this requires personal excellence? Nothing except the debates and then these aren't judged on points, they're judged on how "cool" you are. One could make a reasonable argument that the winner of The Apprentice is more personally challenged than a presidential candidate is. Being a GOOD President, now that's a large achievement!
