Should William Rivers Pitt run for office someday?

[UrbScotty]

I'm thinking Rep. William Rivers Pitt, D-Wherever.

1. Absolutely, Will should run for public office!

Here's why: He's very liberal, smart, well-spoken, driven and passionate about the issues, as well as well-educated about them. After hearing him speak, I think it would be a waste of his considerable talents if he didn't run for office. I'd sure as heck vote for him. And not just for representative; how about senator, or even president?

Go for it, Will!

:woohoo:

edit for spelling error.

2. President Pitt

3. Sounds good to me, genevat!

Hope he'll see this thread, and respond!

4. President Pitt, VP Kleeb!

:)

[Guaranteed]

5. The man's crazier than that bastard Howard Dean.

No way. ;)

No, honestly, I could see ole Pitt in the U.S. Congress, at least. I'd vote for him.

6. Senator Pitt, then President Pitt?

8. FLAME WAR!

:evilgrin:

7. I'm there

Yes, he needs to run. What else do we need to do to convince him?

[undeterred]

9. Someday maybe but right now I need him to keep up the good writing!

10. I'm not so sure

1. I'm not sure that Will is 'electable'. He might be too 'radical' for middle America. I'm also willing to bet he's inhaled a time or two.

2. He doesn't seem like a politician to me - kissing babies and all that other nonsense.

3. I think he might find elected office stifling. There's so much you can't say, and so much compromise required.

I'd rather see him turning a major news organization on its ear from within or being someone's Karl Rove.

[undeterred]

11. I don't know him but that was my guess also

Let him continue to do well what he already does so well.

12. Erm...

As soon as things look like they are returning to some semblance of non-insanity, I am going straight back to teaching high school. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Thanks for the thought, though.

[undeterred]

13. Well, now that that's settled

be sure to post in my "who do you think is BREATHTAKING" post! :hi:

16. Will...In a classroom you help a handful

As the President you could help the country.


Did i get a little carried away?

:wow:

[JohnKleeb]

14. Hell yeah but dont take me with him

I would make a terrible politican.

[UrbScotty]

15. But a hell of a statesman!

:-)

[JohnKleeb]

17. I'd rather write sports, politics, comedy etc than be a politican

[UrbScotty]

18. Will you write about the Orioles sucking?

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

19. And how about the first place Detroit Tigers

Oh wait they're not in first place, I am sorry. Are you upset because we took that series against you at Comerica?
