As for my own political ambitions, I doubt I'm <em>enough</em> of a wacko to win the presidency -- I'll be surprised if atheists become electable by 2020. Also, do political candidates have to <em>literally</em> kiss babies? There are limits on what I'm willing to do for power and money.

(I assume you'll be Constitutionally old enough by then). If this supposed wacko can make respectable showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, I'm sure you can do at least as well. Until then, I recommend developing voting software and convincing gullible state election officials to adopt it. That should help your chances a great deal. -Tyler Jacob,
