Needs a Ross Perot.

Maybe McAfee can run again. Betya the Dead Presidents would license their music free to the campaign.

They killed McAfee

Your comment made me think of when I used to work on desktop computers, and you couldn't uninstall the pre-installed McAfee Antivirus because it says it can't be uninstalled while it's running, and there was no way to kill it from the GUI. So you had to be tech savvy enough to kill it from task manager. Still angers me to this day.

Similarly, McAfee himself is apparently still in a freezer [1], no one seems to be able to figure out what to do with him. I think he'd have found that deeply satisfying.

So technically, we still have a chance of electing him. "Alive" isn't specified anywhere in the requirements, is it? As long as we can puppet him sufficiently it should be good.
