Default A third candidate for 2008?
I swear, this site is real. Check this out: Christopher Walken 2008
I don't know if it is a gag campaign, but heck. If he has more spine than Hillary and her Republican contender combined, I welcome him as a breath of fresh air.

Exclamation I'd vote for him...
because there's no way I would vote for "another" 4 more years of the Republican regime and there's slim-to-no-chance of voting for Hill-a-billy Clinton if she ran (I could see a woman as President, Just not THAT woman) because slim just left the building.

More Cowbell in 2008 indeed...

Am I missing something? It seems that he would have no chance whatsoever. I'm not saying I want to vote for Frist or Clinton, but if he actually is serious, would we be throwing our votes away? Sorry if y'all were already thinking that and I'm being slow.

We'd be throwing away our votes anyway, if we vote for a blatant wing nut(someone like Bill Frist) or a closet wing nut(Hillary). At least Walken has a chance of being totally different.

to openly throw my vote away this coming election...Hell, I have been throwing it away each & every election since 1990 (I tried to help overthrow Bush this year, Only because the was NO Independent candidate on the ballot here in Okie-land...I dislike Kerry but hate Bush), Might as well be Mr.Consistentcy since no matter who I vote for "nothing EVER changes".

If it is real then they did not plan very well for it because the site appears to already be down. They should have planned for millions of hits with that type of a site. I'm currently on a Google research spree to learn about this.

Well, after the last two STOLEN elections, it really doesn't matter HOW you vote...the Republicans would manipulate the outcome anyway.

Pffft...Republic...right...like our votes really matter. But, I'll keep voting "just in case".

I can see the campaign slogans now: "America has a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell". I wonder how he'll pronounce campaign. Like champagne on the Continental?

I would so vote for Christopher Walken but I think that site is fake.
The big clue: all the pictures are stills from his movies.

Interesting idea, but it apprears it was a big hoax created by some people on a message board.

http://rawstory.com - it's on the main page now, but just in case it gets bumped:

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...TICLE_ID=45757

So, the obvious question is: What kind of hoax are we Ledgies going to perpetrate? All the cool people are doing one...
