The spot for Obama’s running mate just may go to the most desperate candidate, or the highest bidder. What could describe desperation and money more than a product mascot?

Top six product mascots who would look good as Obama’s running mate:

-The Kool Aid guy – Cherry flavor might appeal to the Red States.

-The Dancing Raisin – Wrinkles nab the 60+ vote.

-Spuds MacKenzie (The Bud Light dog) – would seal the beach party/canine vote.

-Tony the Tiger (Frosted Flakes) – Locks in the crucial “closeted gay jock” vote.

-Bill Gates – Would appeal to the less-yuppy demographic, i.e. non-Mac users.

-Notre Dame’s Fightin’ Irish guy – Should nab sports fans, the Irish and Sean Astin.
