And from "fantastic" fiction, who would you pick as Pres/VP combo?
Assuming the world would still be exactly as it is, with no other superpeople or anything, but that you could somehow bring two characters from "fantastic" fiction to life to be Pres and VP, who would you pick?

Straight off, I'd want Gandalf as President and Spock as VP.

1. Both from Star Trek
The Rock Monster (who makes Kirk, Spock, Abraham Lincoln, and Surak fight a bunch of evil dudes) for President

Post explosion Captain Christopher Pike for VP (one beep yes, two beeps no)

2. Well, hell -
why not just go with the "Bit" from TRON and the post-explosion Pike?

3. Alternate for both Rock Monster and Bit -
Davros...

It'd be like having the country run by two Steven Hawkings, only one is an insane geneticist (with an "off" button on his control board) and another who could also serve as a mobile drink tray that can't make small talk at state sponsored events.

14. Call me racist but I'd never vote for an ELF...
And I think that Bombadil guy has a SERIOUS drug problem the republicans would just love to exploit. (not to mention his interracial peccadillo shacked up, unmarried out in the woods with Dingleberry or whatever her name is.)

17. Oh, God, yes! Conan! THe good one, from "Conan the King"!
That would SO fucking rock!

We'd have a "war president" who actually served in the military without deserting, and who actually understands war, military, tactics, and, above all else - HONOR.
