My name is Connor Ratliff and I am 37 years old. THAT'S old enough to be President.

On September 9th, I appeared as part of “The Unconvention” at 92YTribeca, sharing a bill with the likes of TIME Magazine’s Joe Klein, Touré, and former U.S. Senator Evan Bayh.

I was given five minutes to say whatever I want, and I made my case to a room full of voters as to why I should be President.

This is a good example of what was missing from last night’s debate.

TONIGHT!
RATLIFF 35/2012 Press Secretary Langan Kingsley will appear with me on The Chris Gethard Show and make a major announcement regarding a thing that will start immediately after the show, at MIDNIGHT!
What is it, you ask? Tune in to the show and find out!
ALSO: I will screen my campaign’s latest ATTACK AD!

ALSO: I will screen my campaign’s latest ATTACK AD!

THE ONE WHERE OBAMA COPIES ME AGAIN So, last week, the Obama campaign took notice of my F•R•I•E•N•DS 4 VP initiative and decided to nab prominent Friends guest star (Season One, Episode 17) GEORGE CLOONEY for a big publicity dinner at Clooney’s house. The timing of this is beyond suspicious… This week, the President took a second page from my playbook by appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a New York City-based late night talk show. I happen to appear frequently on a New York City-based late night talk show, The Chris Gethard Show. In fact, I launched my campaign there. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I have to say: you flatter me, Mr. President.
They are copying me because we are obviously doing something right. After all, we are still in this race, unlike all the people who have wasted millions and millions of dollars only to drop out. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney has blown a small fortune to get where he is now, only for polls to show that even the people who LIKE him don’t like him. Now the bad news: none of the 6 F•R•I•E•N•D•S have responded to my messages on twitter, asking them to be my Vice Presidential running mate. I spent all day Tuesday tweeting about Cougar Town, Courteney Cox’s TV show, and I didn’t even get as much as a retweet. If she has noticed me at all, my assumption is that I must be annoying her, because she responds to all sorts of other tweets. What’s worse is that I haven’t heard a peep from ANY of the literally hundreds of people who were ever on FRIENDS! Not one! The offer stands: if you can prove you were on an episode of Friends, get in touch with me on twitter (@35ratliff2012), okay? Topping it all off, I am THIS CLOSE to getting banned from a Friends message board. The administrators don’t want me to talk about my campaign! They say it’s SPAM, and they keep deleting my posts! It’s really depressing.

THE ONE WHERE OBAMA RESPONDED TO MY F•R•I•E•N•D•S CAMPAIGN So far, my campaign to convince one of the F•R•I•E•N•D•S to be my Vice Presidential running mate has garnered only one official response. (Aisha Tyler politely declined, irrationally fearing she would be a drag on the ticket.) But unofficially, President Barack Obama has clearly taken notice and has responded with a clever strategic move of his own: a major publicity event where supporters can donate money for a chance to have dinner with the President and FRIEND GEORGE CLOONEY (who appeared as “FRIEND Dr. Michael Mitchell” in Season One Episode 17 “The One with Two Parts: Part 2.”) FACT: We are affecting this race. The Commander-In-Chief, the most powerful man in the world, the 44th President Of The United States, has taken a look at my campaign, and he has seen that I am clearly on to something with my gambit to acquire a F•R•I•E•N•D for my VP. The Obama campaign’s swift and savvy response: to court public favor using one of the most high profile guest stars in the show’s entire run. Obama knows that everyone loves the F•R•I•E•N•D•S, and acquiring FRIEND George Clooney is a major blow to our campaign. We are up against a powerful and intelligent political operation, folks. But the good news is that this move proves that we are doing something right. Please help my campaign by following me on twitter (@35Ratliff2012) and RTing and tweeting at anyone who ever appeared on Friends. I am still hopeful that we can land one of the elusive “Big Six” main FRIENDS, even though I have yet to hear back from any of them. In particular, please tweet at @CourteneyCox and emphasize that, should she choose to be my VP, you will get everyone you know to watch Cougar Town.
