    earnest

    Jimmy Carter and boomed, after a rough start, under ebullient


    Ronald Reagan. We fell into recession under the often-unintelligible
    George Bush senior and then boomed under charming Bill Clinton,
    before declining once again under plain-spoken George Bush junior. Mr.
    Davis’s problem is that he is perceived not only as ineffectual but insipid;
    a bad combination for any leader.

    4. Pre-Election budgets are not what they used to be. Once upon a time,
    governments could be relied on to ply the electorate with extravagant
    giveaways in the run-up to polling day. But today’s voters are an
    edgeable-lot, so a more subtle approach is required. Gordon Brown’s
    second pre-election budget, like his first, avoided traditional tax bribes to
    the electorate as a whole. Instead, Britain’s chancellor opted for a
    selection of sweeteners, carefully directed at vital electoral target groups
    such as pensioners, poorer families and aspiring home-buyers.
    But the similarity between the two budgets ends there. In 2001, the
    public finances were exceeding healthy. Including measures announced
    in his pre-budget report, Mr. Brown was able to give away £8 billion
    ($12billion) in the fiscal year ahead while still forecasting a comfortable
    surplus. In this budget, Mr. Brown was in a much weaker position. Even
    the wee sweeties he handed out were far too much, bearing in mind how
    bad the figures now look.

    5. The World Bank is the world’s biggest development agency—a
    sprawling bureaucracy that is extremely difficult to run well. Its leader
    needs to know about development, be able to articulate a workable vision
    and be a good manager. Mr. Wolfowitz scores passably on two counts.
