Open Thread: Who are Your Write-In Candidates for President and Vice-President?

Posted byChaplainmikePosted inLaugh or else

OK frustrated voters. Let’s help each other out.

Who will be your “write-in” candidates for the national ticket?

I’m strongly tempted to write in Al Mohler for President and Ken Silva for VP. These two guys are predictable conservatives who know everything.

Right behind them: T.D. Jakes and Paula White. They can get us out of this financial crisis if we’ll just sow a little seed faith money.

  2. What a good thread!

    I just want to put in two cents and say that the hank hill/boomhauer combo is a little too similar to what we have now for my tastes.

  4. For Pres.: Al Pacino, if he would promise to govern as Michael Corleone for all four years.

    For VP: Robert DuVall, of course.

    Although I might have to go with steven’s Hill/Boohauer ticket.

  5. For President — Frank Viola. He’ll break up the big government bureaucracy in favor of 200,000 smaller, more accountable and more relational “house bureaucracies.” And I’m pretty sure he’d consider pork-barreling to be a tradition rooted in pagan practice, so that would be out too.

    For Vice-President — Brad Lidge. We need someone who can help save this country, and Brad didn’t blow a save all year. Plus being a World Champion gives him foreign policy experience. His first words to the press after closing out the Series were to publicly thank Jesus Christ, so we’ll get the evangelical vote. And Pennsylvania is a key swing state.

    (Actually, I voted for Alan Keyes this year, but only because Viola wasn’t running. Maybe Keyes can be Secretary of State …)

  7. My vote is for Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement of “Flight of the Conchords”. As to which is pres an which vice pres, I suggest they trade positions bi-monthly. Yes, I know they’re Kiwi’s, but their terms will be over before our electorate ever catches on. And don’t we as a nation need at least four years of innocent giggles; ones that are not aimed at one another?

    “FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS——-FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS——FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS——-FLIGHT OF THE——————————————————— YES WE CAN-IF WE WANNA-YES WE CAN CAN! I KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT, I KNOW THAT WE CAN. I KNOW DARN WELL WE CAN WORK IT OUT!

    As long as I’m singing that song, how ’bout Allen Toussaint for Minister of Good Vibes.

  12. A write-in from Australia:
    Colin Powell POTUS
    Clint Eastwood VP

    I’d like to see some good cop/bad cop tag-team action on the Hill.
    Powell can bring some much-needed gravitas.

    2012 a Condoleeza/Hillary face off.

  13. I’m voting for Cthulhu.

    If we are going to sacrifice 16 million babies, why not do it for a superdimensional being who can give real results.

  16. Honestly, I don’t even have two people I could be wildly enthusiastic about in those offices. That’s part of the problem, no one in our public life stands out as having a superior intellect, leadership abilities or commanding resume….. along with a principled conservatism, a must for me…..

    But I would interview David Petraes and Gov. Bobby Jindal. They seem to have real potential and real experience.

  24. How ‘about The Wizard of Oz for Prez and Toto for VP? The Wizard could continue the ineffective, hot-air policies behind the curtain and Toto could be retrained not to pull the curtain to expose him, but rather guard him so that no one else does, either.

  27. I like willoh’s idea.
    Driscoll for Prez.
    IMonk for VP.

    Bill Gates for Treasury secretary
    Jerry Seinfeld for press secretary (that would make press statements interesting).

  28. If you’re in California, make sure your write-in is an actual person, not a fictional character. California Election Code specifically bans fictional write-ins.

    This is said to date from 1968, when the state’s Electoral Vote almost went to Snoopy or Batman (the 1968 TV version of Batman) instead of Nixon or HHHumphrey.

  31. How about Tony Campolo and Mark Lowry – Tony – for all that I do disagree with him on many things seems a likeable guy, and Mark would be the much needed sense of humor for the entire country…

  33. Harry Truman. He was the last one I really trusted. Plus being dead should not disqualify one from holding office. And he’ll be the most conservative of all: nothing would ever change.

  36. Mark Driscol for pres! He would surround himself with tough dudes to protect the USA. Anybody who preaches with barbed wire in the back ground is tough.
    Michael Spencer for Veep! The V.P.’s main duty is to go to funerals of foreign leaders. He could put his sad face on and the world would think we really care.

  37. I’m writing myself in for President. This is the first election where I’m eligible to hold the office (turned 35 last year) and I’m the only one I trust. The main plank of my platform is the elimination of Daylight Saving Time. See my website (liked with my name above) for more details.

    I haven’t yet decided who I’m going to write in as Vice President.
