Interesting possibility but we don’t know where the General stands on issues or if he’d be an effective campaigner.
I’d be surprised if Petraeus gets in it. The downside to picking a military man who has never held political office is what his record would be, and if he was successful at it. That’s why I have a problem sizing up sports figures who try to run, you don’t know how they’re going to do until after they’re in (by which time, it’s too late).
Time to find out?
