He'd make a great President. Maybe the best ever. And he'd get lots of support from [View all]

both Democrats and moderate Republicans.

He’s from NY and so he’d automatically get 29 electoral college votes. He’s VERY smart; he had a top boarding school and Ivy league education. (He attended an Ivy league law school, too, but dropped out when he passed the NY bar – which is not easy to do! JFK, Jr., failed it the first time). He has several children and has been married to the same woman forever (a few flings but no one cares about those anymore.)

He comes from a family so wealthy that he could probably afford to fund his own campaign (for real – not fake, like DT). He's already had some Republican endorsements. But he REALLY understands the plight of the average working person, and he’s got all kinds of plans to help them. And he is a FANTASTIC speaker (on talk radio, at least – he doesn’t make the same impression in person.)

Doesn’t he sound PERFECT? Isn’t he exactly the kind of candidate you’ve been wishing would run? And on top of everything else – he’s the most experienced person out there!

There’s just one little problem. His current address is in Hyde Park, NY – just north of Poughkeepsie. About 6 feet under.

Oh, well. It was a nice little fantasy while it lasted. If only a young FDR were still alive, I know DUers would be welcoming him with open arms!
