That’s a good idea. I always liked “theme” marathons. Unfortunately, TVLand’s library of old shows to choose from has become so paltry. It really limits them. Anyway, there are so many election-themed episodes of old shows. I recall a first-season “Mannix” episode involving a candidate running for office. “Patty Duke Show” had the two girls campaigning for a politician once. “Have Gun Will Travel” had a small-town election episode. Wasn’t there even an episode of “Gilligan’s Island,” of all things, in which a vote was taken, resulting in Gilligan being made sheriff of the island? Heck, seems like almost every series had a qualifying episode.

I remember one where they were running against each other for class president, or some such office. It was a knock down, drag out campaign between the two cousins, but a third candidate won with a short concise speech: "Vote for me". It's probably been 45 years since I saw that, but it made an impression on me.
