208-year-old candidate


The East Aurora (New York) Advertiser brings news that Millard Fillmore has offered himself as a candidate for president in 2008.

No flip-flops — as he points out, he has not changed any position in more than 100 years.

Perhaps surprisingly, he has remarkably progressive views on issues of 2008.

Second Reporter:
Mr. President, there’s nothing in your record on your views on same sex marriage. Will you comment?

Fillmore:
I was married twice, both times to a person of the same sex… a female…. and it seemed appropriate to me….

Millard Fillmore: A man unconcerned about his place in history. Millard Fillmore: The only candidate to have reduced the cost of postage.

He might have a chance.
