By NATASHA ROBINSON
ANN ARBOR, Michigan (AP) — As the U.S. presidential race heats up, a University of Michigan professor is focusing his attention on an election of a different kind.
Jan Svejnar, who has spent years guiding students in his role as a public policy and economics professor, says he's ready to make a real-world impact as the next president of the Czech Republic.
"Being a president is sort of the utmost public policy one could have," he said. "It kind of naturally dovetails the kind of professional work I do."

A professor from an American University in Michigan.....hmmmmmmmmmm..can anyone spell super liberal who wants to import mexicans to do jobs czec people will not do?

I love Pop's comments! Why would Czech law allow a non-national to run for president? Very interesting. Be glad you guys aren't in the States right now the '08 election is getting annoying, as all the news stations have nothing else to barf out at us. Take care! :-)
"Barf out", Frank, is very accurate!!
