Oval Office Underdogs: The Poet Prophet

Michael Levinson pioneered the innovative campaign technique of pumping gas for prospective voters at self-service stations.

Can you imagine Mitt Romney doing that?

On the NH Primary ballot in 1988, 1992 and 1996, he is now back in New Hampshire as a write-in candidate.

Levinson is known for his poetic prophecies (he claims his "Book of Lev" outlined the first Iraq War more than a decade before the first Bush saved Kuwait).

He also has a plan to build a fleet of 10,000 clipper ships (the old-fashioned kind with sails) to handle America's exports and imports. Learn more at: www.michaelslevinson.com/clippers.html

This clip is an excerpt from the 1996 documentary, "Why Can't I Be President?" which was produced for WGBH, WNET and other PBS stations.

That familiar narrator's voice you hear is none other than CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

Not so crazy. His poetry is pretty clever, actually.
