And Ronald Reagan & George W. Bush.

When the two political parties are smart enough to run Governors, they usually win.

If they foolishly rally around some senatoral party hack from one of their "safe states" who tells them what they want to hear... well... talk to John "I can beat Bush" Kerry & Bob Dole about what happens.

We can be fortunate that at this point, the Dems seem dumb enough to make the same mistake AGAIN, and are poised to nominate the beast from NY (SENATOR Clinton), even though her negatives are extremely high and 45% of Americans say they won't vote for her under any circumstances. Thus, she's pretty much unelectable, and her own prayer is the GOP is as stupid as the Dems and likewise nominates a Senator who can only win in Bush states.

Then we'd have two polarizing Senators for President and one of them would have to win, I suppose. I'm guessing the slickest candidate would probably win, or the one with a running mate who can actually carry a swing state.
