MAY
21, 2006 --
Perhaps
pundit-pushing for a new political party would lead to a purposeful
presidential platform if a consensus developed on the third party candidate.
LPR strongly recommends Dennis Haysbert as the candidate of a new political
party that is guided by the populist counsel of Federalist 57.
Obviously, the nation will accept an actor as president. But even Ronald Reagan
was never, to LPR's knowledge, cast as a president.
Mr. Haysbert was -- as President David Palmer on "24," the popular
Fox Television action series. Mr. Haysbert is clearly impressive -- indeed
so much so that he was cast in another series -- "The Unit" -- and
does commercials for State Farm Insurance.

(The fact that
this writer is insured by Met Auto Life and Home--which acted
quickly and effectively when my open driver door made contact
with a deliver truck recently -- is no obstacle to LPR's support
for a Haysbert presidential candidacy.)
And LPR would have no objection if Mr. Haysbert named members of the "24" cast
-- past and present--as members of his administration.
Please see this week's poll question.
