Today's question is about the 2008 presidential race. Going by the rules set forth by our founders -- the presidency is open to American citizens over the age of 35 -- what is your dream ticket? You needn't limit your choices to the current frontrunners, nor to politicians. You also don't have to consider electability. Explain who you would most like to see in the White House, not who is most likely to get the vote.

OK, Noah, I can't resist ...  Rational choices: Sen. Joe Biden / Gen. Wesley Clark If wishes could come true: Bill Clinton / Ron Reagan Katie |

Michael Jordan/ Ralph Nader - The strongest alpha/beta combination in America.
Would MJ allow an America that wasn't strong? Mike doesn't like 2nd place. Mike doesn't *allow* 2nd place.
Would Nader allow an America that wasn't fair? After all, WITHOUT EVEN EVER HOLDING OFFICE he is almost singlehandedly responsible for OSHA, the EPA and the Freedom of Information Act (Among others).
These two may never get along well, but the balance between them would create a miracle government. And we need a miracle. or at least a government, ha ha

If I were old enough and finished with school I'd say, me. I'm a telemarketer, I've been scaming and screwing people over for quite sometime now and I think I'd make the perfect criminal for the job. All I'd to do to win is pretend to be an idiot and lie about everything( or pretend not to understand the question). People would love me because you have to admit that America loves idiots and always rewards them well for their stupidity.
Once in office I'd do the basic things such as; stealing, helping my friends steal, lieing, helping my friends lie, deligate all my responsiblities to my staff, make some speeches about my nonexistant plan to "fix America's problems,"and then I'd probably wage a war with someone just to be starting some shit. After all that work would be finished I'd toil endlessly to make policies that make it easier for my friends and me to steal so lieing to the public wouldn't be so difficult to get away with. The all you guys could blog about me on this site. All and all I'd think the country would be lucky to have me in office

Not that he's a likely candidate, but I think the best person for the job is Congressman John Conyers.

I'll see your John Conyers, Noah, and raise you Barbara Boxer.
Conyers/Boxer ticket would be a dream ticket for me, but, sadly, I have no confidence they would actually win. aheh.
Realistically? I'd like to see Clark make a run for it again. Don't really have a realistic dream running mate in mind for him yet though.
