Would Ben Stein be a good political candidate? In what way? Would you vote for him? Why or why not?

CPT Beaver, Besides being next in line to Rush Limbaugh, Stein is not a natural born American!

Absolutely...he's already a good spokesperson.

No, he would not get my vote (without seeing him in action), because he appears to be have an extremely boring personality.

A good political candidate must be a successful candidate. Ben is just another of the many who would never be successful as he can't attract a sufficient base. Same goes for all the retired Flags I've seen RP member swoon over. Since the general public cannot connect like they did with Ike, I don't think we'll see a career military do well. The exception would have been Colin Powell, but winning would have been problematical.
