Random fact of the day:
Every losing major-party presidential nominee of the last 40 years, except for Gerald Ford, is still alive. George McGovern (1972), Jimmy Carter (1980), Walter Mondale (1984), Michael Dukakis (1988), George Bush (1992), Bob Dole (1996), Al Gore* (2000), John Kerry (2004), John McCain (2008).
Put another way, every major-party presidential nominee of the last 40 years who tried and failed to become president is still alive (i.e. excluding Ford, Carter and Bush from the list).
Enjoy your weekend!
I think this just proves — Gerald Ford inclusive — that being president means you’re gonna die.
So does not being President. It’s pretty much a given ;)
Just a little ray of sunshine to brighten up your day.
uh oh…is this another death list? You do have that curse ya know…
