Do we have to be the member of a major party?

I would prefer so. As of right now no third parties until after the primaries.

I'm still flipping through Forbes 400, I'll edit this in a bit.

EDIT:
I choose Jeffrey Bezos.

Ok, if you really want to.

[ej2mm15]

Alright, I suppose I will try Ron Paul for the challenge

Ok.

[ej2mm15]

I'm going to suggest that we go slow on the endorsements until October. It's really unrealistic that there are this many endorsements (myself to blame as well) in January.

my idea is that with my next one I'll decide all the endorsers myself because that woulf nd up much easier and realistic. 90% of the posts in this is just getting endorsed by nybody you can possibly find. As far as endorsements go, this tl is gone in terms of organization and realism.

You're probably right. I think we're all a party to this craziness.

You have no idea what it's like from my position getting  >100 new endorsements requests a day, and have to searh for each one individually.

Ben has informed me he has no interest continuing on as Obama. Pending ElectoralJews approval, would you be interested in that?

Could I be Evan Bayh instead? I wouldn't be a good enough Obama impersonator

yeah
