Presidential name game

Celebrity couples have all become subject to cute combo-names: Bennifer, TomKat, Brangelina, and now...

Gyllenspoon


What if, instead of restricting this practice to those who are actually banging each other, we also applied it to Presidential tickets?

For instance:

HillBama


And on the Republican side:

CondiCain


Or, here's a good one:

MormonDick


Or, if Hillary doesn't make the cut....

Barack O'GuyWhoseWifeHasCancer


xo,
Jen

Women make up the bulk of the electorate, we're always told. Well, if that's true, why are the Republicans and Democrats even thinking about nominating "Hillbama" or "Rudycain"? It seems to me that Pulitzer Prize winning author Jeffrey Eugenides and Mississippi's junior senator Thad Cochran (a.k.a. EugeCoch) would be the perfect ticket!

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

That's an interesting theory, Matt.

Every time someone does a survey on what woman voters would be most likely to vote for for President, Oprah tops the list, performing far better than any women actually in politics.

So put Oprah on a ticket with, say, George Clooney ... and you've got your middle-aged lady market locked right up.

I mean, I might vomit, but I'm working with your theory here.

Jen,

I know that Oprah is always one of the top picks among women voters, but what about The View's Barbara Walters? If she were to run with political pundit Bill O'Reilly, would they be known as. . .get ready to groan here. . .

BABA WAWA O'REILLY?

Hi, I'd like a HillBama with a large hotdog on the side.

Speaking of famous authors running for political office, if comedian Jennifer Dziura and British author (and one-time MP candidate) Martin Amis were to run together, would the ticket be known as Jenisfamousamis?

Also, what about Kirstie Alley and Barack Obama (Alleybama)? I read that Al Franken is running for senate from Minnesota. If he ever runs for President, his running mate should be Halle Berry so that they could be known collectively as Frankenberry!

Good ones with EugeCoch and Babawawa O'Reilly, Matt!

Help lick Condicain in 08' My new bumpersticker.

I sure wish somebody would stop posting here, since I have been posting here fairly regularly for over a year. If the shoe was on the other foot I wouldn't post here.

Play nice, now. Everyone is welcome to post here. And "someone" is my friend in real life; we did a show together not long ago at NYCC.

Here's one for the Democrats:

IOWA GOVERNOR TOM VISALICK + NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR JON CORZINE = VISINE!!!

(A good campaign slogan might be, "Visine. . .gets the Reds out!")

And on a stupider note. . .

GWEN STEFANI + FORMER SENATOR BOB PACKWOOD OF OREGON = STEFANIPACK
