Cthulhu: Why Settle For The Lesser Evil?

Widening the Field

The week begins with a main stream media field of six candidates Clinton, Gravel, Huckabee, McCain, Obama, and Paul. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Politics1 lists more than eighty third party and independent candidates (including Prohibition Party candidate Gene Amondson), but they don't include the draft movements like We Want Newt! (complete with a new, improved 21st Century Contract for America). In fact the terms "for president" and "2008" appear in the title of 716,000 webpages according to Google. There's borderline parodies like Frank Moore's Just Make Sense Party, RichWhite.org for a Rich White America, and Jack Grimes of the United Fascist Union (although they do have an address in Elkton, Maryland which has been home to KKK rallies as recently as recently as 1992). For genuine evil you can't go wrong with Cthulhu for president. Novelist H.P. Lovecraft's alien god, "Cthulhu for President" gets 47,000 Google hits. The Home Page for Evil assures Cthulhu voters that they will die last. The Elder Party has the better logo (see above) along with a presence on myspace, friendster, and facebook. Want warm and fuzzy? For Clinton dynasts there's Socks for President in 2008, there's a Hamster for President, and even Barney for President (not the dinosaur); although Barney the Corgi does look pretty evil.
