Why I can't become president...

Of all the United States Presidents, we have only had one Eagle Scout, Gerald Ford. But he was not elected.

Does that mean that the scouting values can win in United States politics? Does this mean that you must lie, cheat, and steal to become president?

Here is my current known list of all former U.S. Presidental Candidates:

  • Lamar Alexander - Lawyer, Governor of Tennessee, Secretary of Education, former presidential candidate
  • William W. Bradley; Rhodes Scholar, former star basketball player who later became a U.S. Senator from NJ and former presidential candidate.
  • Michael S. Dukakis - Governor of Massachusetts, presidential candidate
  • Richard Lugar - Senator from Indiana (former presidential candidate 1996)
  • H. Ross Perot - Self-made billionaire and presidential candidate
  • Dick Gephardt; Former majority leader of the House of Representatives, former representative from Missouri, former presidential candidate.
  • Daniel Gilbert - business owner, former presidential candidate
