The world is going to end in 2012 just to spite her.

That's what the Pub's want us to think but the fact it, it won't. We've had some great Presidents and some lousy Presidents, but our country is still one of the best in the world. Regardless who wins the next election, the sun will still come up the next day. We just need to relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy living. Life is short.

Yeah, well I was alluding to the Mayan calendar prediction with a hint of God won't let her be president, no matter what it takes.

It was all in fun.

Brian Schewitzer enjoys a better record even when is a shorter one, his position on abortion rights, in giving no more parole for criminals who commit felonies again, asking for more funds for health coverage, when he refused money from special interests in his campaign, and other "positive" successes of him make him a good candidate.

I still think that Hillary Clinton is not the right choice.
Actually, it is rare that a senator wins the WH. It will happen in 2008, but it has been almost a half century since that last happened, I think.

Good call. Though he wasn't at the time he was elected prez in 68. What was he doing at that time? Private practice?

Quote:
In 1962, against the advice of many friends and supporters, Nixon chose to challenge the popular Pat Brown for Governor of California. He handily won the Republican nomination over the more conservative choice,[citation needed] state legislator Joseph C. Shell. Nixon polled 1,285,151 votes (65.4 percent) in the primary to Shell's 656,542 (33.4 percent). Nixon had never before shown any interest in the office and biographers still disagree on his precise motive in seeking it. In all likelihood, he was looking for a reason not to run for president again in 1964. With John F. Kennedy's popularity strong, it was likely to be a losing effort.[citation needed] Therefore, if Nixon won in 1962, he would have the excuse that he was too busy running the state. If he lost, he could plead a desire not to campaign again so soon. In either case, Brown won handily. Nixon's loss was widely believed to be the end of his career.

Years of campaigning and losing had worn Nixon down. In an impromptu concession speech the morning after the election, Nixon famously blamed the media for favoring his opponent. At a postelection press conference, a bitter Nixon lashed out at reporters who, he said "are so delighted that I have lost." He added:

“ For 16 years, ever since the Hiss case, you've had a lot of—a lot of fun—that you've had an opportunity to attack me and I think I've given as good as I've taken.....But as I leave you I want you to know—just think how much you're going to be missing. You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.[6] ”
—Richard Nixon 1962


However, one year later, John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The events that defined the tumultuous 1960s were beginning, and before the decade closed, a "New Nixon," one who was "tanned, rested and ready." Nixon moved to New York City, where he became a senior partner in the leading law firm Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander. During the 1966 Congressional elections, he stumped the country in support of Republican candidates, rebuilding his base in the party.
Richard Nixon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bingo.
