Hey, You Want To Run for President? HBO Networks Is Looking to Back Your Candidacy! (Reality Show)
Plastic.com and Home Box Office Network ^ | February 25, 2002 | Brown Jenkins

First television documentaries wed two strangers.

Then they document the making of a movie. (with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck)

Now HBO wants to field a presidential candidate,' Brown Jenkins writes.

I don't know about the logistics of this:if HBO will help pay for the candidacy, do they just want a Time Warner pupper in the White House?

HBO gives you free advertising and a platform from which to espouse your beliefs.

How's that for a confict of interest?

Dammit! They stole my idea! I had already planned a run in 2008! I figured I'd get myself a tour bus, and my harley, and get some tax payer funds, drive around the country hold a few poker runs and pig pickins wherever I stopped and take the podium... have the wife and friends tape the whole mess as well.... Damn, HBO... I have been planning it on paper since 1994... oh well. No chance in hell of winning, but maybe spread some ideas and have some fun...

NO fun in that, half the reason for doing it is to get a tax paid 3 month long motorcycle tour of the united states :)

I'd do it, but unfortunately I don't meet the age requirement.

Just like ABC's "Making the Band", only more power when you're done.

#61, theres enough ways to come at that question to choke the server.

Any "up 'n commers" that you have in mind? This kid sounds like hes off to a good start but America has to wait until 2022 for his first shot at it.

I'm too young to do it, I'll only be 31 at nomination time, and just barely that. I wonder what the age requirements are for California, though.... Plus, I'll be old enough for the House and the Senate, though. Hmmm, Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat will be up for 2006 and 2012........

So Tonya couldn't run for Congress either?

LOL! You're bound and determined to get her into public life, aren't you? ;)

Depending on where she lives, she probably can't even vote. Unless the Demmies have their way...
