WI: Elvis runs for president in 1976?

After the malaise caused by the Nixon fiasco, what if Elvis ran as a national unified? Everyone loves Elvis!

I bet it would butterfly away his death in 1977 if he won. But could he win?
 
I think he's too fucked up on the drugs by then. If he spends a few years getting clean, maybe he could run sometime in the '80s or '90s. I think I've even done a few lists in the "Alternate Presidents" threads with Elvis getting elected.

But I think by the early 70's, Elvis was regarded as completely passe(he'd had long since been eclipsed
by The Beatles, among others).
 
So the Elvis mania I see is a nostalgia thing?

It did exist in the 50's but by the early 70's it had pretty much died out. Ironically enough I think it was
Elvis' death that caused interest in him to revive- when Elvis was underground he(of course actually
his estate)made more $ than when he was still alive.
