It’s very interesting…
I remember back in 1996 with the Bob Dole and Bill Clinton campaigns.
Bob Dole, of course, was in the Senate. He was the majority leader, with a Republican control the Senate.
And the Media and a lot of people started saying, “How can you serve in the Senate and run for president at the same time?”
And so Bob Dole quit the Senate.
Now we jump forward to 2008, and we have three senators running for the White House, and I haven’t heard a word from anybody about any of them resigning the Senate in order to campaign for the presidency — have you?
I did see some story last week that McCain might be considering it, but not Hillary and not Obama; neither of them supposedly even considering quitting the Senate race.
