and there is the "write in" option-- the cartoon character "Pogo" garned votes in his run for us president back in the '70's and Pat Paulson-- a comedian also ran-- as a comedy routine-- and people wrote him in. As i recall, Pat paulson would have been disqualified-- he was not a natural born citizen.. but pogo was a georgia 'possum, so i guess he could have won. (in the future will children conceived in-vitro, and carried and delivered via surrage mothers be barred from being president?)
