Challenge: Elect a Hippie President

Clinton was never a hippie though. Anyways, we can just have a generic Baby Boomer who voted for Reagan be elected as a Republican.
 
Abby Hoffman

Anti-war activist Abby Hoffman anounces he is running for president. Libertarians are attracted to hid " Legalize Everything" polacy. With Robert Kennedys death and McCarthy's withdrawel from the presidential race opponents of the war go over to Hoffman. Richard Nixon and George Wallace split the conservative vote. Humphry and Hoffman split the left. Hoffman carrys key big states such as California.
 
Hippy LBJ?

Have someone who holds the whole thing out front, in the open. "Did I smoke pot at Woodstock? Damn straight. And unlike my opponent, I don't feel the need to lie about it." :D People are a lot more forgiving for something that happened 30-40 years ago if you are not trying to talk around it. Jokes are still being made about Bill Clinton's "but I didn't inhale" statement after nearly 20 years. It seems to me though that a Hippie is far more likely to be elected PM of the UK or Canada.

Bob Dylan is elected president on his policy of "everybody must get stoned". He wins with 420% of the vote.
