I've seen several examples in recent months, so why not a thread to catalog them all? Nominating Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon to begin the thread, as (doubly) pointed out by C. Grisso/McCain in the rolling politics thread.

That's what I looking to catalog right there!
xp - a Pynchon character poll would be fun, but I feel like it would take multiple rounds just to whittle down to the top 50!

Tommy Tuberville
