When Will Jay Declare His Candidacy?

Of the thousands of e-mails we receive daily at the Jay Leno for President campaign headquarters, the majority of those e-mails that aren't spam keep asking us the same question: When will Jay declare that he's a candidate for president?

That's the question that's on everyone's mind. After all, what good is a really cool campaign blogsite without a declared candidate? And how about the millions of dollars other candidates have raised for their campaigns? How will Jay respond?

We suspect that the main reason Jay hasn't declared his candidacy yet is that no one's told him about the grassroots campaign to elect him to the Oval Office. Somewhere at NBC, there's a group of people who are so worried about the network's late night ratings that they've effectively quashed any aspirations Jay may have for attaining the highest office in the land. By throwing tens of millions of dollars at him and giving him the easiest work schedule in the business, they've effectively isolated him from the hue and cry of ordinary Americans who want to elect a president who can really make them laugh.

But NBC can't keep it from Jay forever. Sooner or later, someone at NBC's going to slip up and word of the campaign will reach Jay. Perhaps he'll be surfing the net one evening and, just for the heck of it, he'll put in www.jaylenoforpresident.com and here he'll be. Until that time, we hold high hopes that the campaign to elect Jay Leno president can maintain its phenominal momentum and keep pace with the likes of Hillary, Barack, and Mit (Mit?). Geez, the day this nation is willing to even consider a guy named "Mit" for president is the day we desperately need Jay Leno's help. Stay tuned.
