Tonight, as part of our ongoing series '
Either inspired or monumentally daft - You decide', we bring you the news that someone is trying to draft Mark Green for a run at the White House.
Yes, of course there's a
web site. The domain is
registered to a C.M. Barons up in
Bergen, on the outer outskirts of Rochester.
Now, don't get me wrong; I'm a big fan of Mark's, even more of his wife Deni. New Yorkers have ample cause to regret his departure from public office, a regret made more acute if you observe his successor, for whom even the term non-entity seems an excess of charity.
But President? Really? Because why, the country has suddenly discovered a new-found love for
über-liberal New Yorkers? What, Hillary polling in the low forties against John McCain's
dog isn't bad enough for you?
Color me somewhat skeptical. But ye of little faith, take note: the idea that Mark has fans only in the City is hereby disproven.
