Frothus: "......I'm merely asking you to speculate.
No ideas, eh? None at all?"

Well, I rarely run out of ideas...but that's besides the point!

Ummmm....you asked this before, and I gave you an 'imaginary' ticket..not that this could ever happen...but then you might never know....a Paul/Kucinich or Kucinich/Paul ticket would be interesting..
...well, i think they would pull votes from both sides, and the middle...and they both seem to have SOME integrity....Kucinich lost a little when he caved into the Obamacare vote...which, at first he utterly DID NOT like! I could see myself voting for such a ticket...but I'm not holding my breath. THAT'S for sure....
Man, like I just can say, off the usual gang of idiots...and besides, if a perfect ticket arose, you'd never even heard if they exist, thanks to our illustrious corporate media!
Little Hawk, during the last primaries, when I was holding forth, wanted to nominate me...but I had other things to do!
TRUE STORY: When I first came into this town, on my way to L.A. to meet with some movie studio execs, in regards to a script and soundtrack, I stayed at a person's house, who was married to a State Senator...This person was later honored with an award, from President Bill Clinton, with their pic in the paper, and all that stuff.
Well, before that event, they had a friend, whose father was a CEO of a MAJOR oil company.....and after several visits and conversations, with these people, the person with the 'Oil Dad' approached me in private, and relayed a message to me..something in the order of offering me a gig to run for the State Senate seat, which was being vacated, by the aforementioned person...and the conversation ran something to the effect of, "No problem at all..if you want it, it's yours" (they dug my act, in person, I'm rather articulate, and my general deal sorta blew them away)....I think ,that it's only on here, that people take what I've said, and tried to make it sound like I'm hostile, angry or rude....but like they say, beauty, as well as ugly, is in the eye of the beholder...anyway, I was being told that I should think it over, and give them a response......I looked at them, and quicker than a flurry of 1/128 notes, I replied, in a nice, but firmly resolute...rather pleasantly, if I do say, tone of voice, and said, "Tell your people, that if they want that to happen, they should know this about me...as soon as I would be approached about cutting a special deal for someone who I might be beholden to, to facilitate an under-the-table-favor, also known by the word 'corrupt'...I would call a press conference, tell it to the public, who would have voted for me, in trust, and tell them what the favor consisted of, who approached me, and what I would be offered, as 'payment' for services rendered, and seek legal advice, in criminally charging that person...and you know that I would, to!"

Well, three days later, after the message was relayed, nobody had got in touch with me.....matter of fact, 19 years later...after the initial three days....they still haven't!!...and that suits me just fine. There's more to this story, in regards to the State Senator, who I wrote an expose about...even had his diary, to quote from. He later was promoted to Asst.Atty. General of our state....and so suddenly, resigned, mysteriously........and the article never even made it to the papers..............................yet!(But other than writing it, as a favor, I had nothing to do with it, after I gave it to his wife.
Noooooooo, they don't want me.....

BTW, that is an absolutely true story....and more, but I really should stop.....Would love to get into details, and on certain thisgs I may...sometime....
