In conversations with his own aides and at least one Western diplomat, he had dismissed the Arkansas Governor as too young, too inexperienced and -- get this -- too much of a "socialist." That's a peculiar epithet from someone who, until two years ago, was a card- carrying communist; but now that Russia has repudiated Karl Marx and embraced Adam Smith, its leader is apparently susceptible to Republican propaganda about Democrats...
