Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee is showing the electorate he’s pretty hip for a guy who doesn’t believe in evolution. His latest commercial plays off the popular “Chuck Norris Facts” internet phenomenon:
Okay, not the funniest thing he could have done. (Some Mike Huckabee Facts might have been better, but he gets points for trying.) Still, politics is a competitive game and he’s not the only candidate who knows how to turn internet trends into crafty marketing. Here are some other things we can expect to see as election time closes in.
Starting next month, voters will get a good laugh and Barack Obama will get some much-needed internet-cred with this new website: www.OBAMA4PREZ.com
Soon after, Hillary Clinton will add LOLCATS technology to her her campaign posters:
But it will be Rudy Guiliani who will capture the internet zeitgeist with 1Rudy1Cup:

Haha, love the 2girls1cup Rudi reference.
If you haven’t seen 2girls1cup yet, rejoice, for your eyes have not witnessed the retinal atrocity that is 2girls1cup.
LOL@ Robbilliard, but I doubt Al Gore’s selling.

“Chuck Norris?”
“He’s a cop.”
“God??”
“Nice try, dickweed, Chuck Norris IS God.”
Hooray for obscure “Airheads” references.

Wait, are the things Chuck Norris is saying supposed to be real things about Huckabee? Because he says, “Mike Hickabee wants to put the IRS out of business,” and I don’t see how you can read that as other than some sort of joke? The IRS isn’t even a business…

You forgot to mention Mitt Romney’s plan to buy the internet.

Being a citizen of Arkansas, I can honestly say I’m not surprise that Mike Huckabee would do this. I may not like his politics, but I will agree that he’s a pretty funny guy. He does a GREAT Ted Kennedy impression.

Yes, Nanosauromo, ’tis a strange strategy that the Obama camp has adopted, but, hey, a trend’s a trend.

I don’t think these candidates understand the full amount of not voting that the internet generation plans on doing.
