My first thought is for my magazine rack because I like how it stands with the issues, but I’m torn because my right shoe has a proven track record. Moreover, my left shoe would make a perfect running mate for my right shoe. They’ve proven they can work together. What inanimate object are you considering for president? ---

I think that we have progressed enough as a society to have a [Chocodile](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocodile) as president. Damn I miss chocodiles. ---

I think the democrats should nominate a screwdriver. If you’re going to screw up an election, you might as well go with a tool designed for the job. Me, I’d like to nominate a plate of grilled salmon with butter sauce and a side of asparagus. Quite a delectable candidate if you ask me. ---
