Ok, I know I'm going to get some flak because this came from the far left leaning Alternet site. However, I have read and heard many of these claims before; this is just the first time I've seen them put together concisely in one place.

Washington might get elected. He'd run from and garner the middle an the left. Yes, that he was the winning general would put him over the top.

I think similar to Eisenhower who could win running how he wanted and was first approached by the dems who were told he didn't want to run at all.
