Say, I thought of something... what about asking Howard Baker, the guy who was on the Watergate committee? He sure seemed like real presidential timber to me. What ever happened to him? Do you suppose he would consider running to “save our party?” /Sarc
Howard Baker is 86 years old. He’s even older than Ron Paul.
Didn’t he run, back in 80?
(Just sort of inside baseball here, but...I do know some people “in the know” and they say that Howard Bakers is competent and decent, and hardworking in the extreme. They speak of him in the highest possible terms. They in fact say that he would have been President, but apparently he had a wife who was more or less clinical, and also seriously alcoholic. Very sad, really.....Now all that said: I don’t think anyone said that Baker was a serious conservative. They just insist he is competent....sort of sounds like James Baker. Would that these men were conservative, as competence and hard work is not something that can be scoffed at! Also, if my memory is correct, didn’t Baker sort of bring a little order to a White House that was starting to get a little chaotic at the end of the Reagan presidency? Maybe that is the perfect role for him: head of transition for President Cain!)
