In 1976, when we were just getting our puppet troupe started, we ran a campaign.  Our theme was "Let's Run a Real Puppet".  We had bumper stickers and match books printed and ran primaries at each of our shows.  We started with 5 candidates (one "law and order"; one running on a ticket of diverting the entire military budget to the arts; one for "a full cookie jar in every house"; I can't remember the others) and winnowed the field down to 2 running as a team (a married couple; were we ahead of our time??).  When we ran out of steam, Schulz and Moms threw their support to Carter.  It was a ton of fun!  To show you how inexperienced we were at marketing, though:  we didn't evennput the name of our puppet troupe (Eulenspiegel) on the match books or bumper stickers!

OK, time to quit stalling and get back to rehearsal!
Cheers!

Apparently someone things ALL the candidates resemble Muppets in one way or 
 another. I disagree with most of the choices (is there no elf Muppet for Kucinich?), but Romney's and Biden's are SPOT ON!:
