I saw him the Daily show. He is such an effective speaker at making a clear and Clean point. Very Statesman like.
Why have we heard nothing about him as a possible veep for Kerry.

from a state we're already guaranteed next door to Kerry's home state.
Also 72 years old-a little long in the teeth.

2. He was frequently suggested for President |
|
ten-fifteen years ago. I doubt he'd want to run for anything at this point, though. He's an elder statesman.

Jon seemed too impressed and awed to even try to make jokes. It is a rare person that Jon respects enough not to joke with them.

4. His channeling of Kerry... |
|
...was...well, more convincing than Kerry ;)
Even though that particular tact has its weak points for me (I voted for it, I was misled), the delivery was simple and umpph. Yeah, he won't be the VP pick, but I liked alot of what he had to say (especially about the stupidity of labels, and how they contribute to the dumbassification of America)...

5. He Would Make a Great Cabinet Member |
|
I'm thinking Health & Human Services, from his years as governor of New York.

Mario Cuomo was and is an amazing speaker. I could listen to him for hours. I've often wondered if he has a big skeleton in his closest or someone in his family because he was such a perfect Presidential candidate many years ago. There has to be some reason he decided not to run. I guess it could be the "toll on my family" reason.
Can you imagine having someone that gifted at speech and governing actually being our President?
