Comments on: Not Running For President https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/02/04/not-running-for-president-3/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:02:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/02/04/not-running-for-president-3/comment-page-1/#comment-42665 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:02:48 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=7611#comment-42665 He is sort of sneaking up on the concept, waiting for other people to suggest that he should run, which is the whole point of “not running”.

I would love to see campaign contributions limited to people who can actually vote for the candidate running.

He needs four years of being photographed with a shotgun and brace of ducks in his hands grinning outside of a duck blind, being spotted at evangelical churches pressing the flesh, and otherwise building his credentials as an honorary redneck rather than as a suspiciously dusky furrin feller. Bobby tried running for governor of Louisiana as a smart guy, and got whacked and sent back to study hall. His second run, he ran as an honorary redneck, complete with duck blind, story of participating in an exorcism, and holy babbling, and won. Replicating that amongst the rest of the Republican base is going to be a stretch though. Louisiana is a very small state and Jindal was all over that state for years and years before he won the governorship, but he has replicate that all over the former Confederacy or he has no chance outside of Louisiana.

The ‘non-candidate’ is running all over the South gathering up chits while Limbaugh’s proclaimed “Leader” from The Great White North is firing up useless websites and careening around the country being a celebrity “leader” rather than a Governor. It’s going to be interesting to watch this not-quite-competition play itself out…
