Like an erstaz Forrest Gump? Zelig? Joe Garagiola? I have blundered across the paths of more than one person who occupied or lusted to occupy the Oval office... or the U.S. Naval Observatory... and a couple who helped determine the outcome of a Presidential campaign or election.
Meet a few of them here:
- Alan Cranston (D, 1984)
- John Edwards (D, 2004, 2008)
- Tony Goldwyn (R, 2012)
- John Glenn (D, 1984)
- Katherine Harris (R, 2000)
- Donna Rice [Gary Hart (D, 1984, 1988)]
- Fritz Hollings (D, 1984)
- John F. Kennedy (D, 1960)
- Teddy Kennedy (D, 1980)
- John Kerry (D, 2004)
- Hadassah Lieberman [Joe (D, 2000)]
- George McGovern (D, 1972)
- George Stephanopoulos [Bill Clinton (D, 1992)]
- Mo Udall (D, 1976)
To come:
- Tipper Gore [Al Gore (D, 1992, 1996, 2000)]
- H. Ross Perot (I, 1992)
