The Dead Bunny Conjecture was a radically new approach to modern politics. Democrats, sickened by their party's nominee choices felt that a dead bunny could probably do the job better than their current president or any of the nominees. Startlingly, the Republicans felt very strongly that a dead bunny would be preferable to any of the democratic candidates, and that anyone after the current leader would be able to at least continue his work. When the idea was suggested at 3 am over coffee and pie at a local Denny's, the campaign work began in earnest on both sides. The Dead Bunny for President campaign was the most successful in history because of a startling voter turnout and the fact that for once, both parties agreed. Even the Green Party favored the Dead Bunny as a candidate, saying that he was biodegradable and doing his part for the environment.

However, when the Dead Bunny's running mate was announced, the whole thing really hit the fan. Although 100% of Americans agreed that a Dead Bunny could do at least as good a job, if not better, of running the country, they were not going to vote for the Dead Bunny and My Five Year Old Nephew ticket.

Nifty, a conjecture of a different genre than I was expecting - this one is alternate history.
