Running for president: it used to be cool, something young kids and starry-eyed dreamers actually aspired to do. And understandably so. To be the leader of the free world, man! Whether you want to max out your ambition, boldly strive to change the world, or just succumb to the indulgences of power, the Oval Office is one of the ultimate highs.Yet 2012 is shaping up to be the year where the people who are held in the highest esteem are those who aren't choosing to run for president, while the candidates themselves are kicked at, like the last remaining shoes at a DSW clearance sale.

  • Today in History: December 22, four shot by New York subway vigilante
    Denver Post, Sunday - 12/22/2024 - 04:00 AM

    Today is Sunday, Dec. 22, the 357th day of 2024. There are nine days left in the year.
