The icon's idea is totally maidenjedi's, but I couldn't resist making a HP version. Also, I hate the word 'governor'. It always looks misspelled to me.

Edited to add: How totally cool is this? A project to illustrate every scene in book five. And to make the idea even better, every single picture I've looked at so far is outstanding. So many artists, so many different styles, amazing stuff!

"Guvvener"- there, that's better

Now, there's a candidate whose TV spots I'd sit still for.

And that illustration project is really neat; there's nothing I like better than side-by-side examples of different styles and concepts. I might do one myself... I just won't inflict it upon anyone.

I'm really loving seeing all the styles, too. And if you draw something, I hope you'll at least post it in your LJ!

If you live in California...

He may just win:
"Now listen- there will no foolish wand waving here. I will teach you the fine art of restoring order to the state budget, and listening the people's concerns..."

Whoo-hoo!

Snape for Governor! *waves sign*

I'd vote for him. (Well. If I were still a Californian that is... *looks wistfully back to last decade*)

Wonder if he'd run as a Democrat, Republican, Green Party, Libertarian, or Independent? (My money's on Independent. Somehow I can't see Snape toeing anybody's party line any more. *snicker*)

Wouldn't you just LOVE to see him in one of those candidate debates?

"Mr. Schwarzenegger, if you will kindly refrain from flexing that overdeveloped musculature you call your corpus and instead focus on the task at hand, please." *scowl, turns to his campaign manager, one Harry James Potter, and mutters Remind me to add a few drops of Deflating Draught to his wine at the reception this evening.*turns back to the microphone* "If I am not mistaken, we are here to debate the ridiculously inane issues affecting the idiotic citizens of this state, not cater to that monstrosity you call your ego. I would prefer not to waste any more of my valuable time with your narcissitc posturing, if you don't mind?"

*heh heh*

I think you're right with Independent, and you have his comments dead-on. Gods, that'd be funny to watch!

*giggle!*

Especially if he looks like that snaples picture. oh, yum- he would win in a landslide!

It's way too late for it now, but it would be funny to try to really get his name entered. I know people have gotten their dogs in the running, I wonder if there's some rule that would prevent trying to get enough signatures to allow a fictional character to run...
