The Gipper had that Governor gig.But how about IKE? None,Zip,Nada.

And what did IKE do? The Interstate Highway System, that's all.

And what did IKE do?

and he had mamie.

At least the Gipper had been in politics and President of the Screen Actors Guild.

Oh well, Swannie couldn't be any worse then Slick Ed Rendell.

And isn't Swann running for Governor just like Reagan with no experience?

Ike RAN the European World War II theater for the Americans. Talk about your major management skill development.

I think he was in the military. Ever heard of WW2?

In any case, I'd rather see someone who has ran a business and had to make payroll in most political offices.

No - not all. From History of Internet and WWW:

President Dwight D. Eisenhower saw the need for the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) after the Soviet Union's 1957 launch of Sputnik.

The organization united some of America's most brilliant people, who developed the United States' first successful satellite in 18 months. Several years later ARPA began to focus on computer networking and communications technology.

The internet was born out of the work of ARPA, later known as DARPA.
