when I watched this earlier today and many said Whitehouse should run for POTUS. I think he would be a good choice. He reminds me of a cross between Atticus Finch and Walter Matthau for some reason. Then it suddenly occurred to me that if he did become POTUS there would be a big mess trying to differentiate Whitehouse and White House.
