If you could take any two figures in American History, What would be your dream Presidential ticket?

[charlie and algernon]

For me, I think an FDR/RFK ticket would be pretty awsome.
Other great ones would be FDR/Teddy, RFK/MLK, Lincoln/Ben Franklin

[dipsydoodle]

1. Laurel and Hardy

at least we could have a laugh at times notwithstanding issues concerning whether or not Stan Laurel was eligible.

[onehandle]

2. Sarah Palin/Bobby Jindal on the GOP ticket for 2012.

That would be a dream come true.

Sigh...

[izzybeans]

28. They'd have to shut down 30 Rock altogether just so Saturday Night Live

could have Kenneth the Page and Tina Fey for the season.

[cleveramerican]

3. George Washington/ Abe Lincoln

hard to top that one

[cleveramerican]

4. Hank Williams/ Ray Charles

would be my second choice

[VWolf]

5. Mr Rogers / Morganna the Kissing Bandit

Just because.

[cleveramerican]

6. can they produce birth certificates?

[BR_Parkway]

25. +1

[Captain Hilts]

7. Hmm...Franklin/Eleanor, George C. Marshall/EleanorR, FDR/RFK, Truman/Clinton, Madison/Hamilton,

FDR/Bill Douglas, Clinton/RFK,

RFK and Eleanor R make ideal veeps because they can't be intimidated by the Prez.

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. Right now, I'd go with a Roosevelt/Roosevelt ticket.

Let FDR restore all of his reforms that saved this country, and turn Teddy loose on the robber barons. Again.

[charlie and algernon]

11. I like that too

FDR can concentrate on being the reassuring figure while Teddy acts as his attack dog against the corporate robber barons

[masuki bance]

9. Gates/Crowley. nt

[cloudbase]

10. Jefferson/Lincoln

Plenty of good permutations to consider in addition to those.

[Captain Hilts]

12. It would have to be that order. TJ wouldn't play 2nd banana to Abe.

I mean, the man edited his own version of the Bible.

What an ego!

[NYC_SKP]

13. George Jefferson/Snoop Dogg

I'm just silly this morning. :P

[Bluenorthwest]

14. Frederick Douglass and Susan B Anthony

[Captain Hilts]

17. Soujourner Truth would tell Anthony to pass on this one...nt

[Vincardog]

15. FDR for the vision and LBJ to push it thru Congress

[Captain Hilts]

18. Oh, that's a gooooood one! nt

[Kolesar]

16. Abbie Hoffman/Malcom X ... eom

[quantass]

20. Now that would be a sight! +1

[Better Believe It]

19. Eugene Debs and Frederick Douglass

[VMI Dem]

21. FDR/LBJ

FDR for the ideas, and LBJ to implement them.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

22. Obama and Lincoln

Both face(d) great challenges in their time, both worked on working with enemies, both are (were) brilliant Presidents.

[Phx_Dem]

23. Corey Feldman/Gary Coleman!

[Sebastian Doyle]

30. Now that's just ridiculous.

You know damn well Corey Feldman wouldn't run with anybody but Corey Haim! :evilgrin:

[Phx_Dem]

36. ROLF. I bet they could still beat Palin though.

:P

[Perky]

43. No more riduculous than Marty Feldman and Gary Colemen

ALtough personslly I would swap Gary for Herve Villachaize

[leftstreet]

24. Smedley Butler / Hunter S Thompson 2012

Oh hell yeah

[Sebastian Doyle]

31. I don't know if Smedley Butler would want the job

But I'd nominate him Secretary of Defense in any of the above administrations. He would slaughter the "defense" industry scam.

[izzybeans]

26. Thomas Paine and Saul Alinsky.

Two random names that came to mind first.

[harun]

27. Sean Penn/Malcom X

[gauguin57]

41. OK. We have a winner. Sean Penn and Malcolm X.

The debates would be SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH ... no matter who the other side put up.

[the other one]

29. Abby Hoffman / Dr. Timothy Leary

[Hamlette]

32. Jesus. No need for a VP

For those of you who say he's not a figure from American history I would like to remind you that Mormons believe he visited here after he died....or whatever.

[Hekate]

35. He never wanted to be a politician or a king, but he was a nice rabbi with some excellent compassion

As for the Mormons -- eh. ;-)

Hekate

[greendog]

33. "Fighting Bob" La Follette / Chief Joseph

[Hekate]

34. FDR/Tom Jefferson just off the top of my head. Brilliant, liberal...

... all personal failings quite aside. I want good humans, not plaster saints.

Hekate

[Chisox08]

37. FDR and Teddy Roosevelt

JFK/RFk would be nice to. 2pac and Notorious BIG just for kicks

[Sebastian Doyle]

39. Who would be Speaker of the House under the 2Pac/Biggie administration?

Because when they shoot each other again, that person will have to be President :evilgrin:

[Chisox08]

52. Dr. Dre

Suge Knight would be Secretary of State or head of Department of Homeland Security

[cherokeeprogressive]

38. Will Rogers and Chuck Berry

[road2000]

40. Al Gore/Howard Dean

And they're living.

[PassingFair]

54. I was going to say Jefferson/Lincoln....but I like your answer better.

Can you imagine what a different country
we'd be living in....

[Forkboy]

42. Kurt Vonnegut and Carl Sagan

[TTUBatfan2008]

44. Given what happened in 1913...

and my belief that the Federal Reserve needs to be abolished, I'd say that Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt would be my ticket.

[Clio the Leo]

45. RFK/Obama ..... 'cause the first guy missed his chance. :-( NT

[mkultra]

46. JFK/Mosdef

[boppers]

47. Aasimov/Einstein

Get some real brain power in there for a bit.

[davidpdx]

48. Dr. Howard Dean and Jesse "the body" Ventura

Hua!

[harun]

50. I like it!

[WonderGrunion]

49. Ed Gein/Jeff Dahmer

They'd eat the competition up. :hide:

[Monk06]

51. John Waters and Harris Glenn Milstead n/t

[NoPasaran]

53. John Wayne/ Ann Landers

[KansDem]

55. Upton Sinclair/Samuel Gompers
