This one looks like it came from the blogger Sleestak at "That's My Skull", but it is found elsewhere now.If we can elect a peanut farmer from Georgia or a community organizer from Chicago, or a pizza magnate can run for President (why not have a little Caesar for President?), why can't we have a Sleestak in the White House? A Sleestak who harvests moths by the light of the triple moons for his living?
But seriously, and non-seriously, how many other pop culture/ joke candidates can we think of who have run for President?
- General Zod, who ran in 2008. He claimed "In 2008 I shall restore your dignity and make you servants worthy of my rule." The honesty of a man who demands that the world kneel before him is refreshing when you consider that so many politicians have this sort of arrogance but just won't admit it.
- Newaygo Newt for President
- Richard Nixon, still tanned, still rested, still ready.
- Pat Paulsen. "He's back, and still better than the rest."
- Prez Rickard, the first teen president.Howard the Duck from 1976. Hard to believe he was cool and edgy.... back before his name was associated with one of the worst movies of all time.. Cleveland's own duck with an attitude.
- Spock 2012. The only logical choice.

I don't know much about this, aahh...creature(?) but I have some friends who are promoting Cthulhu for President.
Cthulhu has been running for years. I remember his slogan during the 70s. "Why vote for the lesser of two evils?"
LOL at both your comments!
I recall a certain someone from SNL who is now a senator! Perhaps he could make it to President if he ran as Stuart Smalley instead.
I like to see the sleestakness has spread.
I always assume algore was a joke candidate. But seriously, there is something compelling about that sleestak poster that makes me want to give a large contribution to it's candidacy.
Dablade: It must be those large soulful eyes.
I doubt we will see much of the Sleestak during the winter months of the early primaries and Iowa caucus. These cold-blooded go into a dormant cycle then.
Tim has a lot to answer for!
First off, someone else who knows who the Sleestacks were. Land of the Lost, classic!!! So, corny, I loved it.
However, I digress...I think the Sleestacks have a chance running against Obama. They are a minority, and highly intelligent, and best of all, GREEN!
And we all know that green is a very important color in politics!
dmarks, you just had to say it, didn't you?
Hey, Gopher from the Love Boat was an elected official in Iowa, maybe he'll move on to the presidency.
Holly! Watch out!
