Clinton v Nixon - kind of
Political fiction or reality? There are a couple of political computer games that let players select fictional candidates and try to win American elections (Political Machine - currently in rotation on this computer - two geek birds killed with a single stone), however, one of the perceived fictional scenarios may actually play out.
According to CNN, Edward Cox, son-in-law of a former president Richard Nixon, is taking the first formal step to challenge a former first lady, Hillary Clinton, for her U.S. Senate seat. Cox, 58, a Republican lawyer who has never run for office, will file papers with the Federal Election Commission in Washington creating an exploratory committee, Friends of Ed Cox Inc., for the 2006 U.S. Senate race in New York.
Cox married Tricia Nixon, whom he met at a high school dance, in a 1971 White House wedding and traveled extensively around the world with President Nixon during and after his presidency.
His only government experience was serving in the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1983 as general counsel to Synfuels Corp., an alternative energy effort. Cox, a lifelong New Yorker, is a trustee of the state university system, a member of the state commission on judicial nominations, and a director of the Foreign Policy Association. He is also chairman of the State Council of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and of the New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund.
Her qualifications speak for themselves.

Is everyone around your office dying to play Political Machine? Have you finally managed to beat W with Gore? Did you run a better campaign than Gore? Have you taken a stab at running Kerry's campaign (probably the worst Democratic candidate in the history of the party).
