Tay Zonday for president
You may be among the 5.5 million people (and climbing) who've viewed "Chocolate Rain" on YouTube by this point -- it's estimated that a sixth of those hits came from the Daily News newsroom. Then you may realize how perfectly suited Tay Zonday (real name Adam Bahner, Minnesota grad student in American history) -- may be for the 2008 race for the White House.
He can say absolute jibberish, and yet commands attention. He has the deep James Earl Jones voice that could rattle America's foes. And he could slay other candidates in a YouTube debate. He's a total novice, but has already inspired covers from John Mayer and Tre Cool of Green Day. He chose the name Tay Zonday because it produced no Google hits, and now the name draws 978,000. Has one man ever made so much out of nothing?
