Rubin

Maybe the answer to my question of the night is as simple as, "He's not interested in it."

But watching former Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin on The Charlie Rose Show tonight (yes, Rubin's touting a new book), I can't help thinking how much smarter and better-spoken he is than any of the current Democratic presidential candidates.  Maybe they think he's too "Adlai Stevenson" to get elected.  But sheesh, if you value candor and gravitas and smarts, this guy is hard not to like.
