Ted Nugent Thinking About Running For President
by Noah Rothman | 10:49 am, July 3rd, 2013 » 67 comments
Hi, Im Ted Nugent. I have nine children from seven women, and Im running for president, the aging rocker recently said to a Washington Post Magazine reporter, taking a potential campaign slogan for a test drive. Yeah, Im thinking about it, he continued, leaving no doubt that the politically active front man was earnest in his desire to throw his hat into the electoral arena.

All the things he gets a pass on now, he wouldnt get away with as a candidate, said GOP political consultant Ralph Reed. Lets face it, besting Piers Morgan is a fairly low bar. Nothing against Piers, but thats not exactly Oxford debate.
It would be a very good thing for the Democrats, Democratic consultant and CNN contributor Paul Begala added. How many people would look at a 60-year-old man with long hair and a loincloth screaming the C-word about Hillary Clinton and say, I wanna be like him?
