Nunn of the Above

Torie Clark made an observation on the This Week round table this morning that should be made more often when we discuss the Veepstakes in 2008 and beyond.

Sam Nunn gets talked about as a Democratic running mate each four years, his resume suggests he's fit for the job, but he won't get the nod.

The Times ran a similarly-themed item in its Week in Review section in June.

I'm not sure why this is so, but thinking back, every time I discuss with friends who the new Dem nominee is going to pick, Nunn's name comes up as the most sensible mainstream choice, but it just never comes to fruition.

So let's give it up, Citizens of the World. Drop Sam off the list and find a new perennial tease. How about someone who really represents the heart, soul and character of the party.

How about Alcee Hastings.
