And, now. . .
 From the home office in the Matrix on Gallifrey, we have today's top 
ten list:

T_o_p_ _T_e_n_ _R_e_a_s_o_n_s_ _T_h_e_ 
_D_o_c_t_o_r_ _A_n_d_ _A_c_e_ _D_i_d_n_'_t_ 
_r_u_n_ _f_o_r_
P_r_e_s_i_d_e_n_t_ _o_f_ _t_h_e_ _U_n_i_t_e_d_ 
_S_t_a_t_e_s_._

10) Could not fully grasp the concept of Baseball as being anything but 
a corrupted Cricket.

9) Afraid Ace might Blow up a Grid-locked Congress.

8) Would try to pay off the deficit with Alien currency.

7) Wanted to paint the White House blue.

6) Could not run with a future incarnation as his Vice-President.

5) Knew that Congress would not go for new dress code.

4) White House officials would NOT let him live in the TARDIS.

3) Afraid that his age might put him out of touch with people.

2) No challenge; he knew Clinton was gonna win anyway.

And the NUMBER ONE reason The Doctor and Ace Didn't Run For President of 
the United States:

1) Afraid the Republicans would dig up information on Lady Painforte's 
Secret.

(%) By order of the High Council of Time Lords on Gallifrey (%)

...... To which 'Neal' had replied ....

I liked the rest of the list, but I thought that #1 was kind of lame. 
How about,

1) The Doctor has a bad habit of getting elected president and leaving 
before his term is up.

Anybody, today, want to cast their vote??
