Whereas the focus right now is on the anticipated Nov. 2 congressional mid-term elections, where a number of Tea Partyers, independents, conservatives and right-wing radio talk show hosts predict -- as Darth Vader says in "Star Wars" (1977), “This will be a day long remembered,” when most of the Democratic party are voted out of office, my thoughts are not on a possible Republican victory.
I am more interested in who the top GOP contenders might be in 2012 against President Obama. A recent Gallup poll taken Sept. 25-26 suggests the top three contenders are former Mass. Governor Mitt Romney with 19 percent, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at 16 percent, and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee at 12 percent. One other person I think should also be added to the list of possible candidates. I predict this individual might even beat out all the contenders for the No. 1 spot.
I am not putting myself in the running. Like conservative talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, who are often urged by faithful listeners to run for president, I offer the same advice: I don't want the job. Though I wouldn’t mind all the presidential perks I would get after serving four years in office.
Go to Google.com and type in “The Most Interesting Man in the World” and you will find that the system returns 214,000,000 results. I found a website called themostinterestingmanintheworld.net, where you can watch and read all the latest ads and memorable lines which are uttered by frontline actor/narrator Will Lyman.
When asked by an entertainment reporter on a YouTube segment in 2009 how he felt to be “the king of informercials,” Goldsmith, who made television appearances on such shows as "Dallas", "T.J. Hooker", "Knots Landing", "Murder She Wrote", "The A-Team" and "Highway to Heaven" said, “It feels wonderful.”
“I have been an actor for many years, and I’ve never had the accolades this wonderful campaign has brought to me, so I feel very blessed,” said Goldsmith “Very lucky. You know I am not 33 anymore.”
Kids apparently even want to be “The Most Interesting Man” when they grow up, Goldsmith told the reporter.
“I was sitting in a little restaurant the other day and a fellow came over and he said, ‘You’re the guy’ and I said ‘yes’ and said he asked his 7-year-old son yesterday “what do you want to do when you grow up?” Goldsmith said. “He (the 7-year-old) said ‘I want to be The Most Interesting Man in the World.’ Made me feel good.”
As fed up as I am getting with both the Republican and Democratic parties, perhaps “The Most Interesting Man” should run as an independent. I have always believed there now needs to be a third party as the two current ones in power are not doing the country much good.
Even “The Most Interesting Man” doesn’t seem to think much of the two-party system.
“The after party is the one you want to attend,” he says.
This country seriously needs a president where Americans hang on to his every word -- “Even the prepositions.” Our next president should be a man “who lives vicariously through himself” and whose reputation expands “faster than the universe.”
If “the Most Interesting Man” were to run for president and actually win, I believe he might even be able to capture Osama bin Laden himself, disarming the Al-Qaeda leader with his looks “or his hands. Either way.”
Given I am on the subject of repeating various Dos Equis one-liners, allow me to come up with one further comment using Will Lyman’s voice. Perhaps this can be used as The Most Interesting Man’s presidential campaign slogan.
“If asked by reporters why he’s failed to improve the nation’s unemployment as president, you will never hear him say, 'I blame Bush.'"
Like the Most Interesting Man who doesn’t always drink beer, I too never touch the stuff but when I do, it’s usually margaritas or Eggnog and Bourbon during the Christmas and New Years’ holidays.
Stay thirsty, my fellow Americans.

Though I wouldn’t mind all the presidential perks I would get after serving four years in office.
The person I want to run doesn’t seem to have an actual name. I had to type in such things as “Dos Equis Infomercial” on the Internet to find out who this mysterious actor is in much the same way I would find out who the actresses are who play Flo on those Progressive ads or the scolding mother on those AT&T rollover minutes commercials.Of course, it’s not actor Jonathan Goldsmith, who has been seen on those clever humorous Dos Equis ads boasting that heavy beard and deep thick accent who I want to see run for president. The larger-than-life character Goldsmith plays in those popular infomercials known as “The Most Interesting Man in the World” is whom I want on that short list.
Go to Google.com and type in “The Most Interesting Man in the World” and you will find that the system returns 214,000,000 results.

Watching those Dos Equis commercials, I can’t help but ask, “Who wouldn’t want to be the most interesting man in the world?” A woman?Quite frankly, I’d have no problems asking such a person for directions, knowing that I’d never get lost and would arrive five minutes early. With all this recent talk going on about how UFOs have been tampering with the nation’s nuclear missile guidance systems and conspiracy theorists continue to ask if we are really alone in the universe, it’s nice to know that somewhere out there, extraterrestrials have asked “The Most Interesting Man” “to probe them.”

Perhaps “The Most Interesting Man” could make America great again where other countries around the world list him as their emergency contact number. We need a leader where other countries will see as “a lover, not a fighter” but also a fighter so our adversaries won’t get any ideas.As a means of defending our country, the Most Interesting Man says, “the right look should suffice” before leaving viewers with a no-nonsense stare.
