This would be easier if I was as eloquent as Barack Obama or as experienced as Hillary Clinton. How does one begin when making a huge, highly important announcement? Oh well, I am who I am so out with it, I guess.
I am running for President of the United States. That’s right. America’s first woman president will not be Hillary Clinton. It will be me. I want to start by telling you exactly where I stand on the issues which I realize is a rather unusual approach but…
What? Do I hear laughter? Why would you not take me seriously? What is so funny about me running for president? Is anyone laughing at Ralph Nader? Oh, wait. I guess we are laughing at Ralph. Again. Never mind.

Well, shoot. I was gonna ask if I could be your Secretary of Education. Or of the Interior. Or head of the National Park Service. Something.

I’d happily sign on to the campaign if I thought there were some way we could actually get you on this state’s ballot.

As distinguished from “someone to vote against,” a species we never run out of.
