(I automatically imagined Richard Nixon running around wearing a cape and red, white, and blue unitard.) Anyway, I soon forgot about ever seeing this show until about 25 years later when a local TV station ran a few episodes of this animated “what-were-they-thinking?” oddity after a Sunday afternoon movie ran short.

But enough about what cartoon superhero would make the best President. I think [these guys](http://www.popimage.com/reviews/022201xpresrev.html) are the Presidents who make the best cartoon superheroes.

I like TubaDiva’s suggestion of nominating characters for the cabinet. Any suggestions?

I will nominate Dale Gribble for Secretary of Defense.

For Undersecretary Of The Interior For Forest Management–the Human Torch.

Well, that takes care of that.

Ohhh! Good idea. However, as Daria only went off to college in 2002, she’s far too young to run for president in 2004. Are their age restrictions on the vice presidency? If not, I’d like to amend my choice to President Space Ghost/ VP Daria 😛 Now there’s a winning team!
