Most embarrassing choice: Can't think of any.
Favorite president: George Washington. As best I can tell, he did a crucial job better than anyone else could have done, and I don't know him well enough to have learned about all his warts.
Jesse Walker
Managing Editor Walker is author of Rebels on the Air: An Alternative History of Radio in America (NYU Press).
2004 vote: I'm not sure yet, but I'm increasingly inclined to write in Elmer Fudd.
2000 vote: Harry Browne.
Most embarrassing vote: Dukakis. Bush Sr.'s ACLU-baiting campaign was appalling, and I wasn't yet ready to start throwing my vote away on third-party candidates and frivolous write-ins. So I threw it away on a Democrat instead.
Favorite president: It would have to be one of those practically powerless presidents who served under the Articles of Confederation -- maybe the anti-federalist Richard Henry Lee, chief of the Continental Congress from 1784 to 1785, who helped launch the American Revolution, tried to ban the importation of slaves, fought to include a Bill of Rights in the Constitution, and sang the goofiest song in 1776.
Jude Wanniski
Wanniski midwifed supply-side economics, was the first Marxist to work as an editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and is author of The Way the World Works (Gateway).
2004 vote: Bush does not deserve to be re-elected, and Kerry does not deserve to be elected -- Bush because of Iraq and Kerry because his economics are dreadful. I'm leaning toward Kerry because I prefer recession to imperialist war, but Bush might tempt me back by firing Cheney, Rumsfeld, and company.
2000 vote: George W. Bush.
Most embarrassing vote: I only voted for Dole in '96 because Jack Kemp was on the ticket. I should have voted Perot in protest.
Favorite president: Abraham Lincoln, because he saved the Union. Otherwise, there would today be no USA.
