'Battlestar Galatica's' Adama: change we can suspend disbelief in

Adama comes with an impressive resume, but who will be his VP? (Image courtesy Adamaforpresident.org)

Given that the presidential campaign seems to be moving away from reality and toward the fictional realm (thanks Slate), it makes sense that a new, more appealing and powerful candidate is bursting onto the scene. 

That's Adm. William "Bill" Adama, commander of the human star fleet, whose exploits have been faithfully chronicled in the excellent space documentary Battlestar Galactica.

Adama's campaign is headquartered at adamaforpresident.org, which sports the banner reproduced above. This is a man who ought to have a reasonable chance running as a third-party candidate. He's got extremely high-level military experience, has saved the human race several times, has repeatedly shown himself to be cool under pressure and, perhaps most important, he knows what's going to happen in the future...

I knew this site was on to something when I read that several Hollywood actors, including Edward James Olmos ("American Me") and Jamie Bamber ("Agatha Christie: Poirot"), have been spotted wearing Adama '08 T-shirts. And if my hunch is correct, Adama may have a VP pick up his sleeve that could give Sarah Palin a run for her money, lipstick-wise.

LOL Nice pick for VP. Lipstick-wise. ;)

Though EJO would totally pick Laura Roslin as his running mate for Adama... as I'm sure Adama would as well, if he'd ever dare try to steal the presidency from her. Might get kicked out of bed now if he pisses her off. ;)

I'd vote for Adama if he could ever find his way back here. How is he going to solve our problems if he can't find his way hoime?
