Which TV Personality Would Make the Best VP for Obama?

[Frank Booth]

We all know that the average voter doesn't really follow politics.

If we want to win in November we need to tap into that large percentage of the population which is more familiar with quality TV than presidential politics. I racked my brain to come up with compelling, interesting TV personalities that would add some color to the ticket and generate pure excitement.

Here are the best choices I came up with. Feel free to list others if you can come up with them.

Billy Mays:

"The Birdman" Coco B. Ware:

Suzanne Sommers:

David Blaine:

Man, I almost forgot, Huell Howser:

1. Oprah :)

30. Oh god no.

5. Admiral Stockdale didn't do it for you?

[Drunken Irishman]

6. Close...

It was a total turn on when he looked completely lost in the 1992 VP debate.

"Who am I? Why am I here?"

Oh baby!

[anonymous171]

3. David Blaine. He could pull votes out of thin air.

Or make McCain disappear.

9. And if we are ever attacked again, he could stay in that underground bunker better than anyone!

No food, no light, no heat--no problem!

[Frank Booth]

10. That video is simply amazing. Stunning.

[Whisp]

14. hubba hubba. what a nice looking young man. nt

[Ilsa]

4. The ShamWow! Guy.

His voice is irritating, and he has that quirky eye-lift, but he could come over and clean the messes in my house for me.

Uh-oh. I thought I was in The Lounge.

[SoCalDem]

7. This guy.. a details kind of person..

[jeff30997]

8. That guy:

My other choice:Keith Olbermann.

[Hubert H. Hubert]

11. Dr. Daniel Stein M.D.

Because every red-blooded Merkin voter wants a certain part of the male body ExtenZed.

And you know it works because he's personally researched the formula. :reaching for brain bleach:

[lurky]

12. Question Mark Guy:

Just because.

I would settle for Huell Howser, though.

[Kahuna]

13. I gotta go with Mays. I hope he's a Dem. Sommers is definately a puke..

so everybody voting for her supports a repuke vp pick. :hi:

[newmajority]

15. How about Luke Spencer from General Hospital?

He was Mayor of Port Charles for a while, so he has executive experience.
He brought down the entire Frank Smith mafia and saved the world from being frozen by the Cassadines.

Hell of an impressive choice, if you ask me.

[Enrique]

17. didn't he rape Laura?

just sayin...

Then again, they could use Herb Alpert's "Rise" as a campaign song, which would be way cool.

[newmajority]

18. Hearsay! He was never charged or convicted.

And nobody's gonna believe that repuke weasel Scotty Baldwin :evilgrin:

[Enrique]

16. no one's more Vice Presidential than Regis!

[Whisp]

19. DennyCrane.

[newmajority]

20. He's Canadian. And republican

Ineligible on both counts.

[Whisp]

22. but I thought Obama was looking for a repug?

:shrug:

:P

[newmajority]

25. Well, he would be better than Upchuck ES&S, I guess

And he did have an exemplary military career in Starfleet.

[Whisp]

26. UpChuck. lol....

Plus, DennyCrane has exquisite taste in best friends in Alan Shore. ;)

[sellitman]

21. David Blaine has promiced to make the deficit disappear magically.

He has my support!

[jcla]

23. Huell Howser..

He is a people person.... and popular around L.A. I like the Neighborhood section he did on Leimert Park.. COOL! He iss curious about ordinary people, ordinary things and extraordinary things. He brings people together...

[Frank Booth]

27. Yeah, I was thinking Huell would be a good choice too. They could send him to negotiate

with North Korea.

Kim Jong Il could show Huell stuff around Pyongyang like that pyramid-shaped hotel, the giant sculptures of his father, and mass games practices, and Huell would say stuff like "That's amazing," "This is a great adventure," and "Hah!" Kim Jong Il would feel so good about everything by the end of the visit that it would completely change his view of people from the outside world.

24. self delete

for some reason, I thought the thread was about McCain. I must be going nuts.

[Uncle Joe]

28. Jennifer Love Hewitt, she sees dead people so as a logical extension

I believe she would be a peace maker and be against premeditated wars based on lies.

[Blondiegrrl]

29. How about Jon Stewart?

A short Jewish guy and a tall, perceived-erroneously-to-be-Muslim guy.

Yin and yang, baby!

[LWolf]

31. Of those, Huell Howser.

I only recognize 2 on your list; of those two, I'll take Howser over Sommers any day. I've met him, many years back. He can charm the rural, the older, the whiter, that might hesitate.

I don't watch enough tv to know many tv personalities. A couple of interesting additions might have been:

Tony Shaloub

James Roday

Pauley Perrette

At least, if their characters, rather than the celebrity him or herself, were on the ticket. ;)
