It’s not too late. Bloomberg?
To quote Mike Huckabee, “it ain’t over” and I must agree.
Today Ralph Nader has declared his candidacy for the President of the USA. This begs the question of when (not if) the remaining potential candidates will announce. I am of course speaking of Mayor Bloomberg.
But back to Nader…I think his major strength is his connection to FDR. That’s right folks, FDR been in office less than a year when Nader was born. I am not going to fuel the popular beliefs that FDR had himself cloned, but if you believed such things the timing would roughly add up.
I must confess, Nader or Bloomberg could steal my vote from Lobsterman (and many other voters) if they followed the tradition of ancient Rome.
“Candidate” is a derivative of the Latin “candida” (white). In Ancient Rome, people running for political office would usually wear togas chalked and bleached to be bright white at speeches, debates, conventions, and other public functions.
