Ford was in the House right?
If that's right then Nixon was the last former senator.
Yes, Ford was in the House but he was NEVER elected. Nixon
had no V.P. because Spiro Agnew had to resign because as
GOVERNOR of Maryland he was involved in scandals. For
those who are enamoured of governors I would remind them
of Jimmy "the failure" Carter and Bill "the rapist"
Clinton. Personally, I think it's absurd to start speculating about '08. We havn't even reached the mid-term
election of '06 which could change things dramatically.
The old adage that "a year in politics is an eternity"
holds true. I think the Weekly Standard and other media
could spend time better on a thousand other more pressing
and important issues. And polls show that most Americans
are SICK to death of presidential politics. And right
now that includes me!
