But this idea that he ran for president because he needed the "next thing" just isn't the case.

In fact he is ignoring the position he has to run for President.

This is all ego and opportunism.

It would have made much more sense for him to wait it out and run in 28. He would have been done with the Governors office in 26 so he could have been a full time candidate.

But the truth is that he had 15 minutes of fame and I think everyone knew that 4 more years of him in office would make his prognosis worse.

I hope he gets embarrassed and crawls off never to be seen again (a la Bobby Jindal)
