OK, if I read your comment correctly, you’re suggesting that serving in the US Senate is “community organizing”. Huh.
I don’t disagree that state Governors are commonly candidates for President; that goes back to Jefferson & Monroe. And of course, the perennial invocation favorite of Republicans, Teddy Roosevelt.
Interestingly, however, Teddy was a famous “Trust-Buster”, conservationist and “Square Deal” advocate (going so far as to regulate the railroads in his time). He even won a Nobel Peace Prize. Hmmm. Doesn’t really sound like a contemporary Republican, does he? I mean, if we’re going to vilify Obama as a “socialist” and “destroying America”, etc., how can the GOP simultaneously uphold Teddy Roosevelt as a great president???
