Re: Political question



Weren't you the one who told me foolish optimism was a touchstone of
human behavior?

Subject: Political question

Why do Senators run for the presidency?  In the 20th C., only Harding &
Kennedy moved directly from the senate to the presidency?  Some became
vp's and then president -- Nixon, Johnson, but the direct route seems
improbable.

There must be 10 senators today that seem to be exploring the race.
