The title says it all, name some celebrities that could/could have made it all the way to the Oval Office and become a second Reagan.

Ted Nugent: Already fairly political, his economic policies would please most conservatives, but his foreign policy would scare everyone away, he could get a cabinet position and become president via terrorist attack.

Billy Mays: Tons of charisma, could have made speeches for John McCain.

Dave Mustaine: As I discussed with a fellow metal head/alt historian on another site, Dave Mustaine is fairly political and can attract Republicans to vote for him, but will still keep most Democrats, he's already an icon so it's easier to get him into a stepping stone office.

Tom Morello: Same with Mustaine, but he'd be unable to attract Republicans, he'd also run under the Green Party.

Krist Novoselic: Is currently a community organizer, having been part of Nirvana he could easily win any election for any office after Kurt Cobain's death. One of the few bassists electable as president (Mike Huckabee counts. :mad: )

Bill Gates: He could win any election up to governor, and then he's just a step away from the Oval Office.

Harry Turtledove: I've explained how in another thread.
