Reply #50: How many Senators have been elected Pres since 1900???

[Night Gal]

Five

1-2-3-4-5

That's it (Harding, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon).

Why?
Because they have an easily referenced record of voting, speeches, etc.....

This is why governors make better national candidates.

Kerry's record of being the most liberal member of the Senate has hurt him if only from the FACT that his own Campaign NEVER mentions it. They knew before nominating him (as they knew after 2000) that this country would welcome a "moderate - liberal" but not a true die hard liberal.

We nominated the wrong man for Pres. Edwards would have been much more electable IMNSHO and would have been a cinch for re-election in '08, BUT that would eliminate WHO as a candidate for '08?
