Neither candidate is a man of particularly great personal integrity, nor does either man possess much of a powerful or consistent vision. Because neither man is really a leader, or really a thinker, or really anyone's boss. Both are essentially mouthpieces for big, ponderous party machineries that go through extremely complex games with the essential goal of surviving and retaining power (accomplished through the agglomeration and modification of mutable political agendas). They're puppets whose strings are pulled by great big selfish committees fighting over the controls; what do you expect from them *but* a lot of herky-jerky movement?
