Unfortunately, he's in his 70's ...

Maybe someone else will pick up this platform, and we can vote for him or her! Sowell is the Greatest Living American Thinker, undisputed champ!

I love the term limits. Citizen legislators once again instead of professional politicians with a death grip on office.

Thomas Sowell makes far too much sense to win a national election.

Wonderful piece by Sowell; he would never be allowed to do what he and we know is right however.

As a new Senator around 1972 said to me when I asked him how things looked back in Washington, his response was "It’s all over! Washington is nothing more than a back scratching party with no thought for the people except to get re-elected."......but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to reduce government.

Vote for him? I'd MARRY him! No, he won't run for president. But he should have the office next to the President's and advise like mad. Wouldn't it be a wonderful day to have the kind of freedom he is talking about?

I probably would too. I wish I were able to ask Thomas Sowell where we could find such a candidate or who he is voting for.

Nader is probably the only candidate whose positions are even remotely similar to Sowell's positions. What are the odds on Nader's success?

I favor third parties and run-off presidential elections. Without run-off elections, Thomas Sowell, or any third party, has little chance. Imagine if Republican candidate Bush, Democrat candidate Kerry, and third party candidate Sowell were running for president and candidate Sowell was excluded from the debates. American would be denied from hearing one of the most brilliant minds in America debate issues with the leading candidates. To compound the sanctimony the leading candidates tell the citizens that voting for Sowell is a wasted vote.

However, consider the same scenario if no candidate received a majority vote and there were a run-off election between the two candidates receiving the most votes. Thomas Sowell may not be one of those two but under these circumstances, all citizens could have truly voted their conscience without fear of wasting their vote.

Sadly I'd bet that 99 out of 100 Black high school students have never heard of Mr. Sowell.
