Better start a chapter of the "Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians" club in the US Senate.

John Mellencamp, the iconic rocker made famous by his songs about growing up in a small town, may be ready to move to the big city.
Speculation is swirling that the liberal Mellencamp may put down his guitar and run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Evan Bayh.
The Indiana Democrat announced Monday that he will not seek election to a third term in November, sending party leaders scrambling for a viable replacement and boosting Republican hopes of winning the seat. Indiana is generally considered a Republican state, though it went for Barack Obama in 2008.
Support for a Mellencamp bid is gathering momentum; a "Draft John Mellencamp For Senate" Facebook page has emerged with more than 200 members.
Mellencamp is no stranger to politics or to Washington. He asked John McCain to stop using his music during the 2008 presidential campaign. He performed at President Obama's inauguration and has played at the White House, most recently last week at a celebration in honor of the civil rights movement.

He is a male Cougar.
Did he fall asleep?
Sure he doesn’t have some Conan in him?

The Senate is becoming a circus - it’s no longer a serious branch of government.
Don’t worry. This clown will not win.
I remember thousands of freepers saying the same thing about the “clown” who is sitting in the White House.
Why not....what the hell?
Mellencamp??
Sure, why not...
A Drug-addicted Drunk who hangs with internationally-wanted pedophiles and child porn peddlers, who also happens to be an ex-rock star would be the perfect Democrat Candidate.
For California.....
It won’t fly in Indiana.
“...same thing about the “clown” who is sitting in the White House...”
Yes, but this time that White House clown will keep momentum shifting back our way in a swing state like Indiana.
200 facebook fans? Well, damn, the election is already over and we’ve lost. Getting 200 people to become fans of something on Facebook really is a sign of deep unwavering commitment.
Yeah but it may be fun watching him make an ass of himself.
Folks in Indiana aren’t as stupid as those in Minn. or Calif
I used to like a lot of his music but he is left of Hugo Chavez with his politics...no joke. He is also to be taken quite seriously when this kind of talk happens because he has deep pockets in his corner and a friend in the White House who would make a dozen or so appearances for him.
However, the guy is a walking heart attack. He has had a few already and refuses to quit smoking and drinking.
Is notoriety all that is need to run for office?
Mellonhead.
I know...I mean there are facebook pages that have “Let’s have this squirrel get more friends than Obama” with 65,000 members.
And cash. And he has plenty of it. And friends who have it.
Do you live in a little pink house?
