Bloomberg Is Too Short to be President ---pix--->>>

[Stephanie]

Never mind his dictatorial tendencies. Bloomberg is the Kucinich of the Right. He will not be taken seriously because of his stature. Money isn't everything.

As you know, the tallest candidate invariably wins. Unless they http://www.harpers.org/archive/2005/08/0080696">cheat.

1. If Dennis Kucinich had a billion dollars, he'd be viable too.

That's the way it goes in our system.

4. Has the shorter candidate EVER won?

[More Than A Feeling]

5. Bush in '04 was the shorter candidate. n/t

[Captain Hilts]

9. And in '00. nt

[DeSwiss]

11. When you exclude the cheater, you have to go back a ways....

1812 - James Madison 5 ft 3 3/4 in vs. DeWitt Clinton 6 ft 3 in

And Madison also had another thing going for him. Who would ever vote for someone for President whose first name is DeWitt?

:shrug:

15. Wow. I worked all night

and you just put an unpleasant reminder of reality in my head.
You are absolutely right.

2. Height does not matter when you have stature and

a command presence.

Didmiss him at our peril

[Hippo_Tron]

3. Dukakis would've won if it hadn't been for Willie Horton

And then this whole silly height business could be laid to rest.

6. Is Bloomberg married?

I thought I heard someone say today that he wasn't married.

That's going to be a hard sale for him to convince families across America that he knows what they are going through if he isn't married.

7. Divorced, heard he has a lady friend.

[Stephanie]

13. Not married. He allegely has a girlfriend.

He has two daughters from a marriage that ended years ago. He refuses to live in Gracie Mansion because his own Upper East Side mansion is much more fabulous.

[Chipper Chat]

8. That's right. No one took that Napoleon guy seriously either.

And they should've never let Michael J Fox star in those Back to The Future flicks either - way too short to be credible. (Channeling Randy Newman here).

[Captain Hilts]

10. The winning record of the taller candidate was solid until GWB. Voters are heightists....nt

[Bucky]

16. I'll bet you can tell me what the proper counter argument is to that example

[Captain Hilts]

17. Huh? Just readin' history.

And psychology. It happens all through life. Taller people earn more, etc.

[HardRocker05]

12. the human race is doomed. nt

[Philosoraptor]

14. Short people got no reason to live.

Just kidding.

[DS1]

18. Everyone's short next to the Oak
