First up, John Cox.

His slogan for his state race in 2004, I kid you not: Cox for Illinois. Now, with a last name like that there’s really nothing you can do that isn’t going to make the 12-year-old in me giggle, but it managed to be both an unfortunate innuendo and boring at the same time, which if you think about it is quite an accomplishment.

I look forward to the highly amusing half-hour that will be “Cox for America.”
