Shouldn't Cthulhu be on here somewhere? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 00:35, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)

Uncle Duke, too (he ran in 2000). --Palnatoke 13:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Both added. What party was Uncle Duke? Reform? Republican? MakeRocketGoNow 03:02, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

What About Kang and Codos from The Simpsons? --Prunetucky 00:43, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Kang won! See List of fictional U.S. Presidents#K. I guess you could add Kodos to this list, tho. MakeRocketGoNow 03:01, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

What about real people who ran fictitious presidential campaigns, such as Dave Barry (1996?) and Pat Paulsen (1968 and other years)? Should they be included here?--RattBoy 10:35, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Good question. I would say yes, but make two separate sections; one for real people who ran fictional campaigns, and one for fictional characters who ran fictional campaigns. - MakeRocketGoNow 16:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

But what about fictional characters who ran real campaigns? ;) David Hoag 05:31, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Gracie Allen (Surprise Party) ran a fictional campaign in 1940, but it looks like nothing concrete has been decided about fictional campaign/novelty candidates. Esquizombi 00:55, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yelnick McWawa

I seem to remember Cliff from Cheers making a prediction that the above-named individual would be the next president of the United States. Can anyone confirm? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:57, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Found it, here's the quotation: "If you go back in history and take every president, you'll find that the numerical value of each letter in their last name was equally divisible into the year in which they were elected. By my calculation, our next president has to be named Yelnick McWawa." --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:59, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
