(10,711 posts)35. True, and its good to remind that likability and competence aren't the same thing
As a mechanic I work with some guys who I like, but I'd never trust them enough to assosiate my name on their work or recommend them to anyone. And I work with some guys that I don't like, but I wouldn't hesitate to have them work on my family's vehicles, or take their diagnostic advice if it were given. Its a different thing.
It is nice when it all comes in a package - I love our current first family, and they've done a great job. But if all we have on the offer is excellent competence, that's plenty for me.

I personally know at least two proclaimed "undecideds" who aren't even registered to vote.
