Ai sure, but I personally put as much stock into either of their opinions as I do Cubans, which is, about as much stock I'd give to the opinion of any other reasonably smart person. Nothing special, because it's out of their domain of expertise. Nobody is an expert on "politics" in general. Some people are experts in running campaigns. Some people are experts in Keynesian economic theory. Some people are experts in healthcare. Some are experts in getting legislation passed and in understanding the machinations of power in Congress. Some are good executives able to hold together a broad set of options and make good calls. Nobody is an expert in all aspects of "politics"
