61. Not to defend the chimp, but he WAS the governor of a fairly large state..

...yes his daddy bought him the job, and yes, the Texas governor is actually a mostly ceremonial position with the Lt. Gov doing most of the actual work. But on paper, it gave Junior enough legitimacy to run. And from there his name and the BCE political machine took care of all the rest.

Governors are better candidates for President than Senators. It's been that way for both parties.
