The campaign:
When it comes to losing the most consecutive Presidential elections as a write-in candidate, Mickey Mouse no doubt is the champion. Mickey has also been a write-in on ballots for countless other public offices. But 2012 had a twist, he was also running for Vice-President with Donald Duck as the standard bearer.
In a probably not-authorized-by-Disney Youtube video by DonaldDuckNumberOne ("Donald Duck number one!! NOT Mickey Mouse!!") from mid-2012, Mickey was designated as Donald's running-mate.
