Whereas I kind of like Rowe as a TV personality, his political views are still a bit more conservative than I'd like from Rowe, the candidate. However, over the last few years he has mellowed quite a bit and, if he took on a run for public office more seriously, I think he'd likely become more moderate and probably do quite well. He's very aware of public perception and opinion, ergo, a clever marketer of himself.

Here are some random views about Rowe's politics.

And here's what Rowe had to say three years ago.

But wait... there's more. This is Rowe's PAC site on Facebook.

Just what we need, another TV "personality" in Washington.

If we were talking about somehow waving a magic wand and replacing Trump with Mike Rowe, I'd be all for it...

But then I'd be in favor of replacing Trump with Flo from the Progressive commercials, (hey, if we're going to have a fictional television character as President, better one that isn't a toxic, autocratic Russian stooge...Flo seems pretty sensible and level-headed...) so it's not a real high bar for me...

The bloom is already off the orange rose, apparently.

Daniel Sexton Gurney died last January, so I cannot support his candidacy as I did when he first campaigned for POTUS in 1964. Therefore I urge all to get behind a ground swell of activity to revive the effort to unite behind I Go Pogo! Who has a better campaign song?


As Maine go o so Pogo go Key Largo,
Otsego to Frisco go to Fargo,
Okeefenokee playin' Possum on a Pogo
Stick around and see the show go over

Landalive a band o' Jive will blow go Pogo

From Caravan Diego, Waco and Oswego,
Tweedle de he go she go we go me go Pogo.

Atascadero Wheeler Barrow, Some place in Mexico

Bicycle Bill for President     — —  You heard it here first

Makes about as much sense wesw's declaration.

[wesw]

his views on the two generations of americans who have not entered the building trades and the resulting loss of the handed down knowledge that has ensued, largely because of immigration and the poor excuses for degrees that our education system pushes on young men and women.

instead we have navel gazed our way into weakness and dependency.

young man go north!!!!

build something!

make something!

grow something!

and don t neglect trigonometry!!!!!

you never know when parabolic graphing will come in handy.

The institutions of higher learning have become vocational training schools by the general and specific cultures of America. The one thing 'everybody knows' about a college degree is that people who have one get paid more. Go to college and make more money. 'Education" is a secondary or even less reason for going to college.
