What current Congressman would make the best President? I really like Sen. Robert Byrd, from West Virgina, but im affraid he may be to old for the job...
See, when I think of Congressman, I think of people in the House. Not Senators. And I can't think of any Representatives that are equipped for the Presidency.
Originally posted by FacemanBeyond those that are already considering it, I think the Evan Bayh would be a good President. A moderate Democrat who was Governor of Indiana, a notorious 'Red State' for 8 years, left with an 80% approval rating, and elected twice to the Senate. He has executive experience, but he's a little boring to listen to. 😬
Well what Senator, do you think.?. And yeah Byrd is awesome...
George Galloway....

Well, thats public perception, but I don't recall many of the great presidents being governors...and I think thats false imo.
Bill Clinton was the Governor of Arkansas when he ran for the presidency, just so's ya know

What I'm saying is is that State executive experience is often very different form Presidental executive experience.
Despite the fact that thay are both "executive" I don't really see correlations between good presidents and presidents who had gubenatorial experience.
That leads me to believe that the perception is just that, simply because people equate the word "executive."
