Asker's rating:  
Nearly all of these answers (nominations) are superbly formulated and great choices but it is just to hard to overcome the nomination of Superman as the best animated cartoon choice for President of the United States.

Thank you everyone.

Now that is a choice I think everyone will agree with. I can't think of one problem with having Superman as President. His qualifications are impeccable.

He was not born in the United States therefore he cannot be President.

Many of the world's great books have been animated. So you could actually have a pretty good choice if you allowed those... for example Gandalf or King Henry V. There's even an animated movie about Lincoln!

http://lincoln.eparks.com/store/product/63429/Inspiring-Animated-Heroes:-Abraham-Lincoln/

And don't forget that the likes of Tony Blair have made appearances in The Simpson!

But, assuming you're talking about mainstram cartoon characters...

I'll go Bugs Bunny.

# What qualifications do they have that would make them a good candidate?

He always come out on top, no matter what! Plus charismatic, well loved and inventive.

# What would be the campaign slogan?

What's up Doc?

# Are they a Republican? Independent? Democrat?

Clearly his slogan implies health reform, so he's a Democrat. Then again, he's a free spirited creature, entirely unto himself, so maybe he'd be Independent.

# Would you please prepare the entire campaign in your answer?

Umm... no. :)

But my basic campaign message: "The world may be dangerous and complicated. But no one and nothing beats the bunny. Ever." :)

Obviously Pinocchio - not strictly a cartoon character but disney did make an animated film so I think it counts. Imagine a politician whose nose grows with every lie!

I also have to go with Bugs Bunny, for many of the reasons detailed by other answers, but also because he is tall.

Granted, his crossdressing history may come back to bite him, but I believe we're more tolerant than we once were.

Edit to actually answer the question correctly:

# What qualifications do they have that would make them a good candidate?

He's calm, collected, and consistent in his beliefs. He has a strong moral compass, and is a rabbit of action. Also tall.

# What would be the campaign slogan?

Maybe it IS rabbit season!

# Are they a Republican? Independent? Democrat?

Independent. He doesn't adhere to any party lines, making his own way based on his beliefs.

# Would you please prepare the entire campaign in your answer?

TV spots -- Focus on his character, distance him from the crossdressing. Reach out to the beef and dairy industries in order to allay their concerns over his vegan diet. Remind the world the he smacked Nazis.

Debates -- Consistently state the opposing viewpoint, drawing argument from the opponent, before abruptly switching viewpoints, confusing them into adopting his.

Campain Trail -- Tour the nation via underground tunnels. Make supreme effort to make the correct turn in Albuquerque.

Vice Presidential Candidate -- Foghorn Leghorn. He's the freakin' LBJ of Loony Toons. He will lock up the southern states.

No question...The Great Gazoo, Fred's alien buddy, from ''The Flintstones''.

Hear me out.

What qualifications do they have that would make them a good candidate?

The Great Gazoo was banished from his home planet (Zatox...yes, I had to look it up...) because he made a DOOMSDAY MACHINE on his home planet. Bear in mind, Gazoo was not violent. He didn't want to use it to destroy his world. He just made it to see if it could be done.

That sounds like a guy who could look out for our national security without necessarily being a warmonger or imperialist.

Not to mention that, as an alien, Gazoo has access to all sorts of technology that might be useful for pursuing American interests. Likewise, having presumably lived through the entirety of human civilization, from the Stone Age to the Present Day, Gazoo would almost certainly have gained a massive amount of experience and insight into human society and leadership that would help him to unite the nation.

What would be the campaign slogan?

"Vote for me, dum-dums!"

Are they a Republican? Independent? Democrat?

Gazoo probably wouldn't understand our human concepts of liberal vs. democrat. I think, above all, he would rule as a pragmatist, and thus would be an Independent. Plus, he's the only member of his species on Earth. Hard to get more independent than that.

Would you please prepare the entire campaign in your answer?

Well, I actually think it would probably be pretty straight-forward to get a magical alien elected President. Gazoo would just repeatedly point out how he was a magical alien who could appear and disappear at will, and his opponent was just a fleshy little earthling. BOOM, done.

Really, the only challenge would be if another extra-terrestrial, say Marvin the Martian, entered the campaign. Then they'd be forced to have a more substantive, policy-oriented debate.

Superbly done. I might actually vote for The Great Gazoo from what I remember we was a brilliant but intellectually mischievous little guy. That sound like a genius looking for a medium to express his genuine brilliance. A run for the Presidency would be a good fit for him

That video has a great theme politically as well. I like "Why don't you try counting on yourselves" and "I am supposed to serve you so I will try, but take heed, don't ask for more than you can handle, you maay get it". He is a shoe in.

I really like "Vote for me, Dum Dums," because he's making a direct appeal to a large segment of our population. However, the birther movement would have a field day with this guy.

What the hell, We already had one cartoon last time and we don't want another

Oh wait a minute. I think the perfect candidate is "Bugs Bunny!!

Qualifications :
1) He is smart
Smart enough to kick Bin Laden's Ass without Expensive missiles(Only Carrots maybe)
2) He is a Good fellow obviously not Evil or Bad
(I would'nt worry about Affairs and Scandals ;)
Campaign Slogan :
" Hey Whatz up " chomp chomp(eating Carrots) "Care to Vote"

He might prefer to be a Democrat:

Campaign would depend on these themes:
No Taxes
Free Food(Carrots) for the poor
Anti Terrorist action
Banning of hunting Animals it would be regarded murder
He would put Bin Laden behind Bars
Fundemental rights and voting power Extended to animals etc

FogHorn LegHorn is my nomination.

1. He is big and blustery and always sure of himself. He gives great speeches and is always very clear when explaining himself.

2. He has several Campaign slogans, among then:

"Pay atten, I say Pay ATtention (don't let those republicans fool you again, son)"
and
""that's a joke son, a joke"

3. A southern Democrat

4. He would campaign as the father figure and friend of everyone. It would be good old fashioned plain talking.
He would call a cat a cat and a chicken a chicken, and he would make sure that everyone was paying attention and knew when a joke was being told. He would emphasize his ability to negotiate a compromise: "you stay away from my worms, and I won't eat any mice. Your a cat son, cats don't eat worms."
And any enemies would get a good old fashioned whipping

The Pink Panther gets my vote for president with his subtle wit and charm. He always winds up on top, no matter the circumstance.
Qualifications: Age and wisdom are his greatest assets. No skeletons in the closet to worry about when the nay-sayers come out to criticize the pink cat. Familiar with all aspects of the law, the Pink Panther manages to walk the line without crossing it.
Campaign slogan: Think Pink!
Political preference: Independent

Start the campaign with an interview of Inspector Clouseau nominating the Pink Panther as the perfect suave sophisticate for the job. Camera pans to the all knowing raised eyebrow of Mr. Pink.

Brandish the color pink on every thing. Paw prints on t-shirts, posters, and billboards across the country. The campaign contributions saved from such a simple ad campaign are used to alleviate the national deficit, thus making the Pink Panther more respectable and desired in the public eye.

Run commercials of the Pink Panther solving problems and helping those less fortunate to show he is capable. Also show clips from his past to let the public understand he is just a lowly cat with humble beginnings. A grass roots kind of guy.

Running mate has to be Scooby Doo to show no form of racism or other prejudice. This also makes the statement of being able to reach across the lines to recruit help when the situation demands it. Scooby has the Mystery Machine and the rest of the gang to help him. Together with Fred, Daphne and Velma in the cabinet, the mystery of world hunger, world peace, and homelessness can be solved.

The Pink Panther is innovative, imaginative, and gets results. An entity of few words, he's not afraid to put himself at risk to get the job done.
Think Pink!

I'm going to go with Montagar Avatar from "Wizards" (1977)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076929/

http://www.ralphbakshi.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_000_0774.JPG.JPG

# What qualifications do they have that would make them a good candidate?
Avatar is a natural born leader. He leads a rebellion against unstoppable odds both with a straight forward attack and the ever cool elf spy route. he'll rule with a fair but powerful fist.
# What would be the campaign slogan?
"I'm too old for this sort of thing. Just wake me up when the planet's destroyed. "
# Are they a Republican? Independent? Democrat?
Uh... I suppose Avatar would be an Independent...
# Would you please prepare the entire campaign in your answer?
I don't know enough about campaigning to answer this part of the question. I think the old man would just cast a spell on all the voters.. and make himself win.

Lol. buddawiggi, I didn't think The Batman needed an explanation as to why he'd be perfect. :-) However, I'll answer the rest of the questions because it will be fun.

What Qualifications do they have that would make them a good candidate?

-- A perfect and even tempered citizen most of the time but will take care of business when needed. According to the first Bale Batman movie, someone who is also well versed in the martial arts. I think that everyone, not just the President, should have some sort of martial arts training.

What would be the campaign slogan?

-- He doesn't need one. Just show some footage of him kicking butt and that should be enough.

What is his political party?

-- Also doesn't need one. Batman goes beyond party lines and exists only for the people.

The Campaign

-- His campaign should be a resume of sorts. How many times has he taken action for something he believed in and actually seen results? The list will be long and inspiring. That's all we need - the proof that someone can get things done.

Thanks for the gentle nudge to explain my nomination. :-)

In theory, Batman would be the best President because he is incorruptible. He would not want the power and he would also not like people to know that he is Bruce Wayne. For these two reasons, Bruce would probably not run.

For the current situation of this country, Tony Stark aka Iron-Man would make the best President of the United States. He is a genius and already did solve the energy crisis. Due to his previous experiences with alcoholism many Americans will be able to relate to him. Of course, all superheroes would be the country's standing army, so this doesn't influence the pick too much.

Stark would run as an independent. He would have liberal economic views, for the most part, but I am not entirely sure about his social and political views. Another reason for his independent choice is the fact that he has money to spend on a campaign without any help from the government and in todays elections, campaign money is a very important factor.

His campaign slogan would be "Don't stay in the dark. Light up the country by choosing Stark."

Stark would probably donate a lot of money in order to gain votes. He has money to give away so might as well give it away to win an election. He could also make appearances in uniform and show off with Blue Angel pilots. He is a very prolific character and would be the right fit for a country who has questioned the government more often in the past decade.

Xavier from The X-Men.
Professor Charles Xavier is the founder and leader of the X-men. He is a great teacher and champion of causes both mutant and human alike, Xavier, above all else, dreams of a peaceful coexistance between mutant and human.

Charles is a telepath, one of the universe's most powerful, yet he never uses these powers for ill. He is hero. The original X-Man.

I Have Seen The future and The future looks bleak, We can change this by uniting together againest our commen enemys and forging ahead together mutant and human alike to find a peaceful solution to our present problems within our world. I think the economy, war, and the enviroment are all things that will be discussed and with continous prayer and forsite we can achieve greatness as a peaceful world power.

Maybe it is just me but seems the most logical choice would be Captain America.

Captain America (aka: Steve Rogers) was created as a super hero designed to protect America. He's very existence is about Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, the very fundamental principals this country was founded on.

Because he would stand for all of America and not just one group or party he would likely be independent. His campaign slogan would be "America: Return to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all Americans.
