I would sign the petition for him to run for office, but I don't think that I would vote for him.

I don't know...I think he would be able to kill bad bills quickly, rather than let them die slowly in committee...

He's an old white guy with an insatiable appetite for death. I'm guessing that he's a neocon Republican.

Wouldn't a penchant for assisting in the death of the helpless be more of a liberal trait?

Even if Kevorkian were a liberal, I would NEVER vote for him--not even for dog catcher.

I always thought that this level of conviction of a crime meant that you could never run for public office. Has that changed or is it a state by state law?

I like it when BBs can find common ground.

These days, being a criminal seems to be a requirement for running for public office...
