Team 25 nominates Gen. George B. McClellan, a man who served with distinction while leading Union forces until Lincoln decided he was Always Bad and ruined his military career and political aspirations for good.

If it please my teammates and the esteemed Mr. Macintyre, I would like #14 to be named after John Kerry, who received my very first Presidential vote when I was too young to know better and had a lot more faith in the ~system~ than I do now

Team John Kerry: It isn’t that great, necessarily, but it could still be a whole lot worse

so, so much worse

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
For number 4 I nominate Charles Evans Hughes



The favorite to win against Woodrow Wilson, the divide left by Theodore Roosevelt’s 3rd party candidacy proved too much for Hughes to overcome. He still had quite a career though—he was on the Supreme Court twice, once before (and during) his presidential candidacy, and then later as Chief Justice. He also had stints as Governor of New York, and Secretary of State.

Team 2... are they going to send a jobber out to feed Brock, or set up a big fight right from the start....

We need a name that says "enhancement talent" and "beat Brock Lesner at the Rumble" at the same time

Team 2 is Rufus King

Drew McIntyre has not said yes or no so I am taking the silence as a yes and am therefore considering myself an honorary member of Team 19.

As far as missing the thread, I just forgot that the Rumble was coming up as I don't watch WWE anymore, and I don't really go to subforums just to threads I've bookmarked. Then I remembered the Rumble was this weekend and came to join the thing but was too late.

something to consider, is waiting until the match is over, and then joining the team that won. personally i think this would rob you of much of the excitement, and that "winning" in this fashion would be a hollow victory.

this is fine. I used a random number generator and got 9, but then somebody from team 19 invited me to join their team since I was late. I will cheer for both numbers.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Team Horatio Seymour

In his 1941 book about the defeated presidential candidates, They Also Ran, Irving Stone mentioned how Seymour was one of America's greatest statesmen. Stone theorized that Seymour would have been "one of the most farsighted and creative of American presidents." He also believed that Seymour's gentle character made him the "most logical figure in the country to bind the wounds of the war and wipe out the bitterness...."

“The merit of our Constitution was, not that it promotes democracy, but checks it.”

After listening to thousands of pleas for pardon to offenders, I can hardly recall a case where I did not feel that I might have fallen as my fellow man had done, if I had been subjected to the same demoralizing influences and pressed by the same temptations.
