hell, they've been playing the Presidency for years
no accident McCain chose a novice politician as a vice presidential candidate
no accident Howard Dean nearly took the 2004 nomination until he "hit the wall" like a druggie on cocaine

(and likely an abortionist – with no way to deny or confirm such a thing)
