A careful analysis of all 42 of the U.S. presidents reveals some simple, yet revealing similarities between most of them. 
 
Party membership, profession, birthplace, religious upbringing, and highest-attained political position are 5 major elements that determine who the next president will be.
 
In turn, these simple elements can be used in an equation that can help determine the odds of any individual candidate winning the presidency.

Over the next few months, we will examine these five (and other) elements for each of the 2008 candidates, and watch how this theory pans out in this modern marathon.
 
Of course, sex, race, money, appearance, and other factors can enter into the equation.  We will try to keep it simple.
 
PAST PRESIDENTIAL PERCENTAGES:
 
Males   100%
 
Protestants   98%
 
Lawyers   58%
 
Republicans   48%
Democrats   38%
 
Senators   35%
Reps   25%
 
Northeast   33%
South   33%
Midwest   27%
 
Equational Theory v1.0 -
 
A Protestant Lawyer who becomes a U.S. Senator or Representative has the "best probability" of becoming President.
 
Will the long-time trend be busted in 2008?
