If I want ersatz presidential runs, I'll go with Pat Paulsen in 1968. Or, better yet, Gracie Allen in 1940 (the Surprise Party!).

James Carville looks almost human there.

Ditto on Gracie Allen in 1940. I recently purchased an extensive collection of old Burns and Allen programs -- that was a great running bit.

But will President Griffey be awake and ready to act when that telephone rings at 3 p.m.?
