Because she will remind people of Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blond."

Because she will remind people of Kevin Klein in "Dave."

Because she will remind people of Geena Davis in "Commander in Chief" where Geena Davis was just supposed to help the guy get elected and then the guy died, and Geena Davis wouldn't resign, and she was a good president, better than Donald Sutherland even, who was the better actor.

Because if you pit Alaska against Hawaii, Alaska seems tougher.

Because she seems to have a bear draped over her couch.

Because of the untruths of multiple story lines.

Because I smell Karl Rove.

Because First Vice-Dude sounds cooler than First Vice-Man.

Because she reportedly doesn't believe the first man evolved.

Ronald Reagan, Arnold Swarcheneggger, Jesse Ventura.

Because George Bush won in the first place.

Because Adlai Stevenson, when told every thinking American in the United States would vote for him, called out that he needed a majority.

Because he lost.
