What were they thinking of?
 The ONLY former politician I've ever seen doing a commercial on TV
(not counting commercials for non-profits or charities) was a defeated
VP candidate about 6 months after the election and that was back in
the 60s. It was Goldwater's VP candidate and I >think< it was for
Amex. The tagline was "Do you recognize my name?" (holds up card)
"Probably not but I bet you recognize THIS" and then it cut to a
screen showing how many places accepted the card.
 I think I saw Jimmy Carter pitching for a charity but don't recall a
former president (or presidential candidate) pitching for a for-profit
company
