It should be COOLER than the top. but not cool to the touch.  The 
radiator is supposed to remove heat, but not to that extent, 
especially at idle.  I've never seen a car whose lower hose stayed 
cool unless the radiator had blockage.  And if the car is overheating 
it would be even hotter, if there was coolant flow thru the radiator.
