There's a poster doing the rounds at the moment proposing Godzilla for President

GFP

Now this obviously can't happen since Godzilla is Japanese so he wouldn't be able to produce a valid birth certificate. I've been trying to think which monsters could stand instead of Godzilla. Remember they ned to be from America - so King Kong is out - being from Skull Island, which isn't part of the USA.

The only ones I can think of are Q the Winged serpent, The Giant Gila monster, numerous giant ants, a giant Tarantula and the Graboids (tremors and its various sequels).

There must be more...

The Blob encompasses a number of American citizens.

But that was from outer space. It might eat Americans but that still doesn't give it the right to run for president.

Plus he's a mad scientist who shrinks people, rather than a giant monster

Rather more to the point, how about the Terminator?

The 50ft woman definitely counts as a contender. Probably doesn't have much chance though, being female and all that - we know the Americans don't want a woman president. Maybe she could run for VP

She could run for governor of Alaska.

More of a species than a monster, but how about CHUD? I would rather vote for a 'cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller' than Mitt Romney any day of the week...

I got it! The giant leeches! They're definitely American!

And if they know how to suck the blood out of you... insert your own political joke....

But less tempting than being able to stand under 50ft Woman's skirts.

He's massive yet soft, and appears gleefully moronic and blundering - could be an appropriate candidate.

Interesting Four Thought episode the other week on Radio 4 about power and its effect on the brain. All that dopamine (spelling?) has the potential of turning people with the power of a President into monsters.

Anyway, I'd vote Bigfoot. If only to find out what Berlusconi wound up saying about him...
