The campaign:
In life President Lincoln and Gen. McClellan were political enemies as well as opposing Presidential candidates in 1864. But in 2012 their reincarnated selves had teamed up in the form of two girls in their early teens to form the Lincoln/McClellan ticket. At least two Youtube presentations were made--
L: I'm Lincoln.
M: And I'm McClellan.
L: Do those names sound familiar to you?
M: Because they should. We were both men at one time.
L: Great men. I am still considered the best President in the world today.
M: We have more experience than Mitt Romney and Obama combined.
L: Death does that to you.
At one point in their presentation a cat is heard meowing offscreen.
"Lincoln and McClellan, joining the race fashionably late." Their party, the Mythical Majestic Midgardian Party (or Midguardian, I'm not sure which spelling they employed) had a unicorn as the party symbol.
Needless to say, in the event of their victory at the polls the number of obstacles for them to actually assume office would have made for a long list.

Graduated 2nd in his class at West Point.
Washington State trivia connections: McClellan had been ordered to find a suitable railroad pass in the Cascades in 1853 and failed miserably. His losing opponent in the race for New Jersey Governor, the eccentric William Augustus Newell, later served as a Territorial Governor of Washington.
