1.
Shaquille O'Neal: The Diesel has long talked about running for sheriff when his NBA career ends, and he's already known for being involved with local police departments in ride-along busts, etc. But will voters want
Kazaam in the White House?
2.
Peyton Manning: The NFL's current golden boy is already a successful product pitchman, and overcoming his football demons and finally winning the Superbowl a few months back only adds to his legacy. Besides,
Tom Brady seems too focused on
Gisele to spend his time on politics.
3.
Barry Bonds: Sure, he's divisive, but he has the support of the people, as evidenced by his recent election to the All-Star team. Will his support base erode in light of continuing allegations surrounding him?
4.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: Thanks to his NASCAR heritage and video appearances with
Jay-Z, he already appeals to a wide base. Could unify voters in the Southern states.
5.
Rasheed Wallace: My personal favorite. Sheed would cut through the bureaucracy in DC, never taking no from an answer. Also,
his press conferences would likely be highly entertaining.
