Blakley '08

There really is only one candidate for president. McCain, who? Romney, wha? Obama, huh? Hillary, please!

William Hobert Blakley
Candidate for President
2008

Who really can argue with this kind of record:

Candidate, United States President, 2004
Candidate, Mayor of Ranlo, North Carolina, 2001, 1993
Candidate, City Council of Stanley, North Carolina, 1985

And this kind of professional experience:

Dishwasher, Jackson's Cafeteria, 1989-1996
Mail Room Worker, Gastonia Gazette, 1989
Dishwasher, Pepper MIll Restaurant, 1989
Cook, Captain D's, 1987

I mean, working "The D's" back in the late '80s was a bear...had to be tougher than wasting days away in the State Senate or sitting on some cushy cabinet position. Plus, leadership experience like this - Assistant Chief, Gaston Company React Team 2885, 1976-1981 - cannot go ignored.
