Reply #8: The last three Democratic Presidents have been

[brazos121200]

from the south. Only two sitting Senators were ever elected to the Presidency in the 20th century, and both of them died in office in their first terms, although both were greatly loved. So we should probably elect a southerner who is a governor or ex-governor. There aren't many who fit that bill. Gen Wesley Clark, not a governor but ex-military, who isn't a candidate anymore, Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, and that's about it. Gov. Blanco?
