Although the candidates from the 2006 midterm elections have not even taken office yet, discussions have already begun for the 2008 presidential election. Jockeying for position has begun within both parties, but the publics discontent with status quo politics makes this next election a very interesting one and raises a very important question; could a third party candidate win the presidency?   

We here at TNOYF have taken a look at some of the dark horse contenders who could challenge for the Independent nomination, and potentially, the presidency.

Ike Turner-

Pros: Great stage presence; can belt out a tune like it’s nobody’s business.

Cons: Has been known to belt women then say, “It’s nobody’s business.”

David Hasselhof-

Pros: Great hair.

Cons: Not many opportunities to leave his chest exposed as President.

Islamic Rage Boy-

Pros: Very high “Arab street-cred”; has taken aggressive stances against serious crime in the past (especially strong on exposed ankles and wrists in women).

Cons: Campaign theme of “It Takes A Village To Genitally Mutilate A Small Girl”, may not play well in Red States.

Michael Jackson-

Pros: Polls well among children.

Cons: Does not use the industry standard definition or spelling of “poll.”

Britney Spears-

Pros: Strong public speaker who is popular in both the black and Jewish communities.   

Cons: Recently signed with the public relations firm, Gibson & Richards LLC.

Lynn Stewart-

Pros: Already has a closet full of burkas to wear for presidential visits to the Middle East.

Cons: The President’s picture appears everywhere. All the time.

Ben Affleck-

Pros: Off the chart Q-Score; politically active.

Cons: Gigli.
