True but I don't remember any president doing that successfully in living memory. Let's hope it stays that way

Quayle  2004.


"Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important.  We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water.  If there is water, that means there is oxygen.  If oxygen, that  means we can breathe."

Dan Quayle -   August 1989

I said successfully He didn't get elected in any of his previous campaigns did he?

[Grey Wolf]

I believe the only one to successfully run after being in office and then losing the next election was Grover Cleveland, back in the end of the 19th Century.

You could be right. I was sure that someone did it but it's only American history so I don't pay much attention

[Grey Wolf]

To tell you the truth, I find American history rather boring compared to European and Asian history. I just remember that since I'm taking AP American History this year.

It's because we have more of it. You have such a wealth of history to choose from you don't have to get bored of any of it, you just move on. The problem with American history I tend to find is the lack of it more than anything.

Dear God, Quayle actually said that? That's even better than the line he gave about having to brush up on his Latin because he was about to visit Latin America...

[Goober5000]

Quayle is funny but you have to be careful of misattributing stuff.  The Mars one is accurate but the Latin America one isn't.

I don't live in the States, so I have marginally less of an effect on US politics than citizens. But I'de say, if Dean was to be your man, why not Kucinich or Sharpton. Dean is certainly better than Kerry, but IIRC he did vote both for the war in Iraq and for the PATRIOT act....

woah.. ya.. this is THE most mature forum i have ever been to, and i love it..
