I have a “Nixon – Now More Then Ever” button I adore. It lost it’s backing, but I think I can rig up a new one.

I’m jealous of ralph’s Coolidge button. As a Vermonter, I have some loyalty to Cal. Plus, there’s the story of some woman walking up to him during a White House party and saying “I’ve made a bet that I can get you to say three words tonight.”

Cal’s response: You loose.

Heh. Off to look at ebay.

I think I want to make up a few “Mel Carnahan for Prez” buttons.

Oh sure, he’s dead. But he wins those elections. 😃
