New Yorkers Seem to Always Want to Be President

- Crying in a bathtub somewhere.
I didn't want to bring this up (it's kinda embarrassing), but Wyclef Jean isn't the first New Yorker to get a

And remember how
both failed to make it past the primaries because nearly everyone disagreed with them? Who even knows what happened to those losers?
Instead, voters smartly elected Barack Obama, who is practically a Seattleite. (Hawaii is roughly 20 miles south of Federal Way.)
Seattle's even responsible for producing conservative powerhouses Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck. Beck is from Everett (five miles north of Seattle) and Palin is from Alaska (10 miles north of Everett).
