Should I Run for President of the United States?

In a year of firsts for Presidential candidates, a phenomenon has taken even seasoned analysts by surprise. A growing grassroots movement has been born on the Internet to elect a virtual unknown to the highest office in the country. It all began on a popular online chat site where Diana Falzone, a former Maxim model, hosts a talk show. What began as a joke turned into a groundswell of popular support for a candidate no one had ever heard of.
All of a sudden, thousands of people were texting and calling in to cast their support for this candidate. Political analysts are now calling this a massive nationwide political movement. They’re concerned that unknown candidates could pose a tangible threat to both Republicans and Democrats.
So what do you think? I think President Pirillo sounds pretty dang good. And of course, Ponzi would be the most beautiful First Lady ever to grace the White House.

Seeing as the populous is only just a few million strong of geeks honestly in our political world the idea is far fetched. However it would be interesting to see someone with technical nohow to run for presidency seeing as technology hold the future for cutting our dependence on crude oil. It would only seem fair if a fellow geek lead that revolution.

Chris, first of all you’re just pandering to your constituency simply by posting this. Second, you’ve never really been clear on the issues. Wicket or Pixie? Which is it? Stop the flip-flopping. Enough is enough. Third, once people see that video of you in Ponzi’s dress, they’d rip you to shreds. And secondly, do people see you as a pitbull? …a shark? …a barracuda? No, more like a clown fish.
You can’t take the geek out of the lumbar supporting, high-backed ergonomic chair any more than you can put lipstick on a pig.
I would seriously stop pouring millions of dollars into your campaign and go back to the 1’s and 0’s from which you came before you embarrass yourself any further.
Once again I’m voting for my write-in candidate, Alfred E. Newman.

if you use as much time at politics as you now do in tech, you could win it all. :)

You had my support until that elderly lady in the video lifted her shirt.

Chris,
You need to reduce this ego of yours, do you acually think that people would vote for somebody who sits on their backside all day peering into a screen and who thinks they are some kind of God well, people won’t. Get real, not everybody loves you as you do yourself
