Now that Hillary is finished, and Obama's clearly cocaine addled, is it too late for Teddy to run?

[Buzz Clik]

Not Kennedy.

Teddy Roosevelt.

[DS1]

1. He hasn't outright said he's not running

so yeah, :wtf: Teddy?

[JohnnyLib2]

2. Those strange lights in Maine---beamed at DU?

:evilgrin:

[Gman]

3. He is as big an environmentalist as Gore

maybe bigger. He has the experience.

[DFW]

4. Hillary and Obama don't have to be out for that

Check which party TR belonged to.

He was a Republican!

[BrotherBuzz]

6. He wasn't married to the republican party, he could run as a Bull Moose again.

[DFW]

7. Yeah, but they're not around any more

Although--the Republicans of Teddy Roosevelt's day aren't around any
more either, so I guess it doesn't matter. That party hasn't had anyone
with the character of Teddy Roosevelt since, well, Teddy Roosevelt.

[BrotherBuzz]

8. We could resurrect the Moose party as soon as we resurrect Teddy

There are a lot of fence sitting, unaffiliated, disenfranchised people that might be thrilled to join in the movement.

[DFW]

10. It's a deal

You do the cloning from his DNA, and I'll swipe some DNC people
to be ready when your TR is alive and kicking.

[HooptieWagon]

5. Teddy's not qualified

- he doesn't have the requisite 8 years experience as first lady ...

[joe_sixpack]

9. Now you're talking

hell, I'd vote for the Bull Moose party simply because it's a kick ass name. Didn't TR go on and give a speech after getting shot or something?

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. "History's Lost and Found" occasionally does the story.

During a stop in Milwaukee on his 1912 "Bull Moose" campaign for the presidency, Roosevelt was shot at close range by John Schrank, a psychotic New York saloonkeeper. Schrank had his .38 caliber pistol aimed at Roosevelt's head, but a bystander saw the gun and deflected Schrank's arm just as the trigger was pulled. Roosevelt did not realize he was hit until someone noticed a hole in his overcoat. When Roosevelt reached inside his coat, he found blood on his fingers.

Roosevelt was extremely lucky. He had the manuscript of a long, 50-page speech in his coat pocket, folded in two, and the bullet was no doubt slowed as it passed through it. He also had a steel spectacle case in his pocket, and the bullet traversed this, too, before entering Roosevelt's chest near the right nipple. Thus, one could say that Roosevelt's long-windedness and myopia saved his life!
