Would You Vote For a Blind President?

Posted from Royal Oak, Michigan--

Thanks to some alleged bad behavior by Eliot Spitzer, his Lt. Governor David Paterson has become the next Governor of New York.

Paterson is the first African-American Governor of the state and amazingly, only the fourth African American Governor in history. 

By all accounts, David Paterson is an exceptional person.  According to the Huffington Post, he is a former State Senator, he ran the New York City Marathon in 1999 and he was born legally blind. 

Does this mean if Mr. Paterson uses an escort service the girls won't necessarily be pretty? 

Public expectations of politicians remains at an all-time low.  It'll take some real elbow grease to restore our faith in elected officials.

Meanwhile, a blind Governor raises an interesting question.  Paterson became leader of his state by default.  Would citizens elect a blind Governor? 

An even more interesting question is  "Would citizens elect a blind President?"  Some would say we've already elected a few dumb ones.
