Jon Huntsman spoke Mandarin, served in a Democratic administration, believed in climate change, and played in a prog rock band. He had the '76 nomination sealed.

Gary is an asshole name. And I liked Hart.

History[edit]The usage of Gary as a given name is intertwined with the success of the actor Gary Cooper (originally Frank Cooper). The American industrialist Elbert Henry Gary left his name to the town of Gary, Indiana. The theatrical agent Nan Collins, who lived in this town, suggested the name Gary to Frank Cooper, one of her clients. Cooper thus adopted the name Gary and enjoyed a successful film career (as Gary Cooper) which caused the name to become popular.

Hart, the so-called Atari Democrat, presaged every odious trend in the Democratic party for the next 15 years.

oh cripe those shits
i saw Hart speak at NYU in front of a fairly small crowd, probably in '83. I think I probably voted for Mondale in the NJ primary in June '84.

I met Gary Hart! He shook my hand and said, "I'm the next president of the United States". That was probably a month before all the shit went down. No, his hand did not have Donna Rice on it.

I think Herman Cain could have gotten the nomination if he wasn't an idiot with personal baggage, if you get what I mean. Like a different pizzaman could have done it.

cain should have gone full 8th-grade junior honor society campaign style and promised everyone 2 free large pizzas if he became president
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 26 May 2015 20:49 (nine years ago) link
then in the first month of office, during his first primetime speech from the east room, he could have declared that it was time for the nation to tighten its belt - no free pizza

i honestly can't wait for all these campaigns to be in full swing because republicans are hilarious. I can't even think of an electable republican at this point.
here's a fun game. let's assume these are the GOP candidates:
BushCarsonChristieCruzEhrlichFiorinaGilmoreGrahamHuckabeeJindalKasichPatakiPaulPerryRubioSantorumTrumpWalker
the fox debate apparently will only allow 10 candidates. which 10 will it be? or which 8 will be out of the race or simply excluded from the debate?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 May 2015 13:56 (nine years ago) link
(that list comes from here: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/winnowing-down-gop-candidates - 15 of the 18 have already announced or are about to, while the other 3 (trump, ehrlich, gilmore) were also so hey why not)

Santorum, Jindal and Gilmore the final ones I removed. I just have to assume Ricky Bobby will bow out before Thanksgiving, and Gilmore? I guess every season needs its Mike Gravel, but I dunno.

I can't even begin to rank 'em. Also can't believe Santorum's taking another shot (spurt?) at it. What a putz.
