3. Yes, hopefully..
UNLESS something weird happens and Huckabee suddenly takes off flying! In that case, can someone volunteer to pack his parachute?

6. more than that, one of the very few times in our history!
Only about 2 or 3 other presidents have been elected straight from the Senate. Some have been elevated to Vice President and then elected president, but it's very rare for a sitting senator to be elected president.

But when only senators are running... then I guess this year will be one of those times!
