should dems run a celebrity for prez?

[RepublicanElephant]

seriously. americans LOVE their celebs.

and wouldn't a repub attack on a candidate's celebrity look hypocritical after former prez ray-gun and now ah-nold in calif?

so which celebs do you think would make a great president?

i'll start with the most obvious one:
martin sheen.

2. It would work for California governor

It's becoming part of the GOP playbook.

3. Robin Williams n/t

[Telly Savalas]

8. But the GOP would run attack ads with Mork and Mindy footage.

Nanoo Nanoo

4. An obvious opening for Gary Coleman.

He's been tested in the California gubernatorial sweepstakes and now he's ready to rock on the national stage.

5. Bert and Ernie--a Two-fer

[Telly Savalas]

9. But if they won, we'd be stuck with Elmo as the press secretary

[jody]

6. No. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. What Jody Said...

I think the Republicans are better at it because the faux ubermacho type are emblematic of their party...

[Qibing Zero]

10. Perhaps if we reduce the role of president...

..to a spokesperson and diplomat to the people only, then sure.

Seriously, the fact America would rather have a recognizable or pretty face leading them than someone actually qualified that has good ideas is one of the biggest causes for the problems the country faces today.

11. Tom "Billy Jack" Laughlin is way anti-war

but I think he hates dems. :-(
