Which is exactly who Gov. Palin starts reminding me of.
“Here is another one term Govenor who was placed on the Republican ticket in 1900 - Teddy Roosevelt... and went on to be the 26 th President of the USA.”
Of course, Teddy Roosevelt was bumped up to be the candidate for Vice President because his progressive reforms were causing too much trouble for New York Republicans.
In 1912 T. Roosevelt seceded from the Republican Party, split the vote, and allowed the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
