[All ran for office while holding a fall-back office]
Yeah, that’s what I wrote. They usually do it that way.
Run, run for the roses - uh - beer..

Bob Dole was dumb enough to resign his seat in the US Senate to run for President
Dole assumed that would get him points for ethics and honesty
Bob Dole overestimated the intelligence and depth of the average US voter who decides in the last 15 days by watching CBS - NBC - ABC TV if they have not already picked their candidate
Plus Dole was actually too bloody liberal himself
A candidate needs to define himself as being different than his opponent - all the more so if you are running against a mucho younger person and your name is not Ronald Reagan
Bill Clinton ran as a Centrist-Moderate and played that card through both terms
The “Most Liberal person in the US Senate” Barack Hussein Obama Junior not only ran as a Centrist-Moderate - but he actually claimed he was the “Real Conservative”
Republicans were saddled by Senator John “CFR” McCain because of open primaries and a corrupt media
My liberal NYC sister said she did not like any of the leading candidates (Hillary - McCain - Obama) - she was shocked that I agreed with her and that I wore an Operation Chaos T-Shirt during the campaign
My sister knows what the bottom line is - money - taxes - access to quality medical care - a 401K that does not turn into a 201K as hers did
