| Description | WASHINGTON -- The number 23 apparently looms large for Buddy Roemer, In an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Friday, the former Louisiana governor said that it was his exclusion from 23 Republican presidential debates that had pushed him into seeking the independent Americans Elect nomination for president, a pursuit that will require him to pick a running-mate of a different party, selecting from a field that he said now numbers 23.
"We're looking at 23 different people to have as a running mate. Under the rules of the Americans Elect unity ticket we have to pick a Democrat or Independent," said Roemer, who has previously indicated that the American people will be "shocked, pleased and surprised" by his choice.
"I won't make that announcement until I win or lose this round of Americans Elect," said Roemer, who will turn 69 (23 times 3) on Oct. 4. |
