You would think a Pulitizer winner could do basic historical research! By the time Roosevelt was VP, he had served in the NY Assembly (where he wrote more legislation than any other member), had played a major role in reforming the US Civil Service, had modernized and reformed the NYC police department, had been Assistant Secretary of the Navy, had been a military officer with combat experience, was a best-selling author, and, of course, was governor of the most populous state in the nation. If he was alive today, he would be campaigning against McCain-Palin, the sort of conservative, crooked Republicans he fought all his life. It is a disgrace to compare TR and Palin – do your homework, Mr. Breen!
