Funny you pulled up the one Gov. that DIDN'T get a second term as President. And we all know why.

However, he was defeated by another Governor.

I'm just saying that Governors have simply been more successful than Senators in Presidential elections. Not commenting on the performance of any of those past Chief Executives. Since John McCain is a sitting Senator, I think it was wise of him to choose a Governor as his running mate. Romney or Pawlenta would've been good, but safe choices...too similar to the 'safe' choice Obama made with plagarist Joe Biden.

With Palin, he's got a Governor, a maverick, a conservative...AND a woman who will kick ass!!!

Yay.

Don't agree??? We shall see.... grin

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
