Poll question: Which First Lady do you wish had run for office?

[Bucky]

1. With one vote in, it's Mamie by a landslide!

Mamie!! Mamie!! Mamie!! Mamie!! Mamie!!

[Bucky]

2. Little known Mamie fact:

Mamie Eisenhower was the first American woman--perhaps the first woman ever--to ride in an army tank. Her dress was white, the mud was brown, and her eyes were cold steel blue.

3. Mamie was a severe alcoholic

who had a penchant for pink..pink walls, pink curtains, pink toilet paper. She probably would have painted the white house pink if they'd have let her. I worked at Dwight Eisenhower Army Medical Center Ft.Gordon in Augusta GA and the Mamie Suite was a hideous waste of money. She was barely fit to be a military wife.

[Bucky]

7. Your slanderous attack on Mamie only shows how desperate you are

All of you Lou Hoover supporters just can't admit your gal ain't electable!! Only Mamie can save this fuckin' tea party!

Ma-mie!! Ma-mie!! Ma-mie!!

9. HAHAHAHAHA!

this was the point at which I sprayed the monitor

13. Was Mamie's drinking a side effect of Ike's affair

with Kay Sommerby?

4. Tipper Gore. . .

Not a big fan of her activities, but truly regret not having her as First Lady. . .

[Mistress Quickly]

5. Abigail Adams n/t

10. Abby would have cause a frightful state of affairs

:D

6. Eleanor...

because she had the access, (to power) coupled with the will, the intellect and the understanding of what "the greater good" was all about. Given the times, she helped affect much that improved the average life in America and elsewhere- one can only imagine what she might have done today. (She was reviled then for her independence -much like Hillary - she'd stroke out most neo-cons if she was still with us).

8. Can I vote for Abagail Adams?

[Fleshdancer]

11. Abigail Adams all the way!

But sadly she is not a choice :(

on edit: I posted my answer before reading the others...and here I thought my answer was original! I like this crowd.
