6. Carl Weathers

In what has to be a well-executed joke, a campaign Web site popped up touting the candidacy of New Orleans-native Carl Weathers, perhaps better known as Apollo Creed or for his hilarious cameos in Arrested Development. Though not known for any post-Katrina advocacy, his campaign Web site touts some strong bona fides: “Carl Weathers has nothing to hide. If Carl Weathers wants to go to Hawaii, Carl Weathers logs on to expedia.com and buys a round-trip ticket to Hawaii. He doesn't let some company the city does business with foot the bill. He's a celebrity; he can't be bribed.”

Pros: Hilarious Web site

Cons: Umm … I don’t want to get punched in the face by the former world champ.

Odds: 200-1
