Presidential Leadership Project
2008pickingapresident.com2008

The Presidential Leadership Project is a one-time, not-for-profit, nonpartisan, pro bono activity that will help Americans think about the most important character traits and "key competencies," or high-level skills, required of a US President in 2008 and beyond. The intent is to promote rational discussion about presidential candidates and prospective candidates, as one alternative to the strident, amusement-oriented media coverage.
