By David Moye - AOL News
(Oct. 24) -- In order to get out of a great recession, maybe the country needs a president who lived through the Great Depression.

Don Cordell, 83, has been running for the nation's highest office since 2000 and doesn't plan to quit until he wins the hearts and minds of his fellow citizens. If elected in 2012, he would be the oldest U.S. president in history, even older than Ronald Reagan was when he retired, but Cordell sees his age as an advantage. Courtesy of Don Cordell Don Cordell, 83, has ...

By Christopher Weber - Politics DailySen. Joe Lieberman, an independent, said earlier this year "it's possible" he might run as a Republican when he's up for re-election in two years, and now GOP donors seem to want to help him make up his mind.

Nanny Bloomberg Tests the Waters
By Eric Schulzke - Politics DailyMichael Bloomberg has made a boatload of money, and with a net worth well in excess of $11 billion could run a campaign without feeling pain or needing fundraising. But the question remains, who is he and why should anyone care?In an election where everything remains up for grabs, someone with his resources would have to be taken seriously, I suppose. Here he is on health care, where his reputation as the Nanny is borne out. If he's serious about running, I suggest ditching the French cuffs, and, heavens, is that a pastel pink shirt? Never gonna win Ohio in that get up. ...

Michael Bloomberg, Mr. No-way-no-how-am-I-running-for-president may just be running for... president. The Times reports the mayor's got advisers working overtime, consultants at the ready and the pieces in place for "a turnkey campaign infrastructure." That means if the climate is right, Bloomberg can announce his candidacy and have everything -- from fundraising to local offices -- ready to go.Despite public denials, the mayor has privately suggested scenarios in which he might be a viable candidate: for instance, ...
