6. Richard Nixon (1968)
Long before rebounding from Watergate to earn respect as a foreign-policy elder statesman, Nixon engineered an equally audacious-and surprising-return from the political dead. After his narrow defeat by John F. Kennedy, Nixon ran for governor of California in 1962 and, after he lost, he bitterly told the press, "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore." Not true. Nixon kept fighting. He campaigned for Barry Goldwater (AuH2O) in 1964, supported GOP candidates in the 1966 elections, and gained the loyalty of power brokers around the country. In 1968, he made another run for the White House, edged out Hubert Humphrey for the presidency, and set himself up to be kicked around yet again.

I can't help but be facinated by this election. The sheer importance that is put on the individual voter in Florida is totally crazy. You can just see the corruption being sqeezed from it. Why won't the Republicans do a revote unless they think it will cause them the election? Why were the names on the ballots in the wrong order? Why were some votes lost? This is the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen. God I love this bullshit!!!

entirely too many people make a cushy living and lifelong career out of representing the will of the people. sure, let's leave things to the professionals, i guess that's what representative democracy is about. but what about this representation part? politics these days involves convincing one's constituents that they hate the opposing party, [insert name here]. here are some words to further consider: truth, facts, gullibility, stupidity.

"can i spare a minute of your time to ask you a few questions about the upcoming federal election sir?"
"i'm afraid i don't really know much about politics these days.. i'm just too old now...."
(insert lengthy provocative conversation with 19y/o and old man here)
If there was one moment i felt enlightened yesterday it was when that old man became relative to me. i'll never see his face, nor know his name, he may not even be alive today. But i'll never forget the day he spoke to me, moved me in ways i'd painted over 7 years ago. i wish i knew your name, i wish i had a minute to stop the world revolving, in all it's politics.. to talk to you. Understand what it is that makes you wiser than the rest.. satisfy this aching need to a minor degree..
