"flexible at the very least"
I don't want flexible leaders. I want someone who has a set of principles, and a list of things they want to do. Then I vote for them based on who has the best list, imo. If they won't stick to their agenda, and vote as such, then I am never really represented, since often times, I'll be voting for candidates who approve and vote for many measures I flat out disagree with. (Patriot act, war, etc.)
"and thirdly, they do better with the economy"
I think the libertarians would do the best with the economy.
