Some people are just born with perfect political names. John Courage. Charlie Justice. Jon Powers.
And then there’s Dick Swett.
If you thought the Swing State Project was above this sort of thing, you were sadly wrong. But seeing as the two most popular TV shows among this site’s readers are The Simpsons and Family Guy, I’m not worried.
And man, there are some great names running this year. An early favorite is down in TX-22, where you’ve got Mayor John Manlove. (Not joking.) Out in NJ-07, there’s Deputy Mayor Chris Venis. (Cue Beavis.) I know there are more out there.
So, tell us, what are your favorite political names? They can be ridiculous or awesome. And they don’t just have to be from this cycle – any point in history, from any English-speaking country, will work. Come on people, make me smile!
