For those too young to remember or who just never noticed his prez runs...
Harold Stassen (April 13, 1907 March 4, 2001) - was the 25th Governor of Minnesota from 1939 to 1943 and a later perennial candidate for other offices, most notably and frequently President of the United States

#5 In Harry Turtledove's terrific WorldWar alt-history series, Stassen actually does become President in 1965.
Perhaps Harry can pen another one in which Gore wins in 2000, the US surrenders to Al Qaeda, and Kucinich becomes Pres under the Caliphate's leniency policy. I'm sure he would love the job.

#6 Dennis the Menace, former mayor who led Cleveland into filing for bankruptcy, is remembered by his union and welfare supporters for removing all of the tax incentives for companies like Sohio, Republic Steel, US Steel and told them "we don't need no stinkin' companies like you !".
Well, they shut down and Sohio closed their refineries, ....left the offices only.

No, but it really helps you get support from the base.
