When was the last time anyone besides a Governor or sitting VP..

[Egalitariat]

was elected to the presidency?

Neither Democrats nor Republicans have had success recently running Senators.

Do you think that's a coincidence? I don't.

1. Nixon wasn't in office at the time of his election was he? n/t

[Ima]

2. good question

I would like to know also.

[Dookus]

5. Richard Nixon

was the last. Carter, Reagan, Bush II and Clinton had been Governors, and Bush I was a sitting VP. Ford was never elected.

3. 1960

JFK, Senator from MA, unless you count Nixon... *shudder*

:P

6. I thought Nixon was the Govenor of California at one time . . .

Before Pat Brown?

7. IIRC

Nixson ran and lost.

8. Technically, you'd have to say Kennedy

But Nixon suffered the same insider status that being a Senator brings with it, and the voting record. Bush 41 had been with the CIA and state department after being, briefly, a member of the House.

[DELUSIONAL]

9. Kerry 2004 -- he won -- they counted the voted -- padded votes

for King George.

Exit polls were correct.

So your question isn't very good.

You are accepting the vote fraud --

Never accept their lies.

10. Only two Senators have ever won in the history of the US

It's not a good title to start with certainly.
