[Rodolfo]

We said the same thing about Bush!

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

We said the same thing about Bush! That didn't work out so great.

except into Bush's 1st year, you said only 7 years left

I think you missed his point. Some were saying the same thing about Bush and yet he got re-elected (sort of)

Charles Barkley.

Charles Barkley.

No, he can't run. He plods.

 

[BrianFromWA]

He beat Dick Bavetta. Then again, maybe Bavetta was a "horrible candidate" as well.

So he can beat old white guys. Hmm...maybe he can win a republican nomination after all.

Barkley used to talk about running as a Republican for Governor of Alabama. He supported Obama recently though.

Well i had heard him talking about how he thinks the rich should pay a little bit extra in taxes.

He's definetly changed his tune of late. He liked rep's when he was making lots of money as a player basicly.

Clinton has to be one, and maybe Truman?

 

[Sug]

Someone has a billion dollars to oppose him? He is the bankers candidate, have you learned nothing? Bush was in bed with the bankers, and now Obama is.

 

[Mediocre Man]

And, I told ya so.

Clinton and Woodrow Wilson.

Another bit of trivia is that neither won any of those terms with even 50% of the popular vote.

1992 Clinton 43.01%, Bush 37.45%, Perot 18.9%
1996 Clinton 49.23%, Dole 40.72%, Perot 8.4%
1912 Wilson 41.84%, Roosevelt (Progressive Party) 27.40%, Taft 23.17%
1916 Wilson 49.24%, Hughes 46.12%

Carter (50.08% when elected) was defeated by Reagan
LBJ (61.05%) chose not to run for a second term
JFK (49.72%) was assassinated, LBJ finished out his term
Truman served the remainder of FDR's 4th term and beat Dewey (49.55%) for his only elected term .

The only sitting VPs to be elected president were John Adams (1797), Thomas Jefferson (1801), Martin Van Buren (1837), and GHW Bush (1988).

Republicans since 1900:
1900 McKinley 51.64%
1904 Teddy Roosevelt 56.42%
1908 Taft 51.57%
1920 Harding 60.32%
1924 Coolidge 54.04%

1956 Eisenhower 57.37%
1968 Nixon 43.42%, Humphrey 42.72%, Wallace 13.53%
1972 Nixon 60.67% (dubious)
1980 Reagan 50.75%
1984 Reagan 58.77%

2000 Bush 47.87%
2004 Bush 50.73%

What a gay post, Denny.

We should get a midget as president so then we can lol every time he makes a speech on his tiny tiny podium with his tiny tiny microphone.
