Who Else is Running?

[sdelmonte]

So we all know abut Obama and McCain. But with every election season, we usually get some rather creative fictional slates, things like "Cthulu '96 - Why Settle for the Lesser of Two Evils?" Has anyone seen anything noteworthy and funny this year?

Towards that end, I offer:

I don't know. Benry would be effectively smeared as worse than Bush/Cheney. He did say "So" when his own running mate accused him of killing a boat full of innocent people.

[sdelmonte]

True, but at least he's honest. And he ALWAYS has a plan.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

However, the other problem he has is that he's been effectively usurped by his own running mate. The American people want a decisive leader, not a leader who'll be steamrolled over by some guy in a cabin.

[sdelmonte]

Well, if it's a log cabin and the guy is Abe Lincoln...

Perhaps Abe Lincoln was one of the spokespersons for Jacob.

Also, curse you for making my mind jump back into political analysis of "Lost"!

I do wonder who their opponents would be, on the island. Shepherd/Shepherd -- because dammit, nobody's as ~awesome~ a leader as Jack thinks he is!

Sawyer/Reyes?

After all, when the Oceanic Six + 1 get back to the Island, I bet Sawyer is in charge.

In that case, wouldn't it be, say, Ford/Burke? Or possibly Burke/Ford.

[sdelmonte]

We are presuming, of course, that both survive the "bad years."

And I have to say, it's gonna be fun to spend the next six months speculating endlessly about the show.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

Hee. After "The Matrix," I quit speculating endlessly about anything; however, expect a Talking Out Loud speculation post about Benry sometime soon.

I just can't say no to a headvoice.

Colbert/Voldemort 2008: Because Harry Potter Is Corrupting Our Youth

Don't I remember some fictional nomination or election from four years ago, and didn't people in the end vote for Pterry and Gneil, or am I confusing something...

I don't care that it's been done -- Naismith / Vorkosigan.
