Auntie Bucksnort's comment is responsible for this post. In a previous entry on this blog, she commented about Bertie possibly being a Republican candidate in 2012. I pretty much dismissed this idea in favor of a run by the Captain, given her much greater experience and demonstrated leadership skills. Bertie is after all a midshipman. But after celebrating the 4th of July with several Coronas, barbecued ribs, ears of corn-on-the-cob, and glasses of wine, I rethought my position.
Bertie certainly has more charisma than Romney or Palin:
The small dog has the tenacity and fighting mien of Giuliani or Cheney:
Bertie also gets on well with the ladies, like Ensign or Sanford:

Although I love his real name--Bertie Pierre--I truly believe that "Midshipman Bertie" is my all time favorite dog name.
Alright, we've been joking around with this whole idea but wait! Maybe it's not so crazy after all, as you've just proven with good solid documentation.
I say we should help Bertie float the idea with the American public by starting his own blog, and his own Facebook and Twitter pages, just like Sarah! It's not too early to test the water.
He's certainly got all of the qualifications for being taken seriously by the Reflublicans. As you pointed out, he's a charming tenacious little horndog, but you left out his most important qualification - his ability to whip up a naive gullible crowd with a few carefully chosen sharp high pitched invectives!!
BERTIE IN 2012!!!
This is not a joke.
