DALE CREASY, JR. JOINS ALFRED E. NEUMAN IN POLITICAL RACE AT FRAM AUTOLITE NHRA NATIONALS

Alfred E. Neuman, the gapped-tooth, grinning MAD Magazine cover boy, will announce his candidacy for President of the United States via the newly designed MAD Racing Pontiac Firebird of Dale Creasy, Jr. to be unveiled at the Fram Autolite NHRA Nationals in Sonoma, California on August 4.

Sports Service, Action Performance and Racing Champions will support the campaign with licensed merchandise.

Alfred E. Neuman has been a candidate in every Presidential election since 1956, except the years in which he had a real shot of winning (1988's Bush/Dukakis matchup, for instance). Alfred also ran for President in 1967, 1983 and 1995, even though elections weren't held those years (Alfred figured he'd have a better chance if he were the only candidate running!).

On his candidacy, Neuman pronounced, "Political campaigns are when voters find out what politicians stand for and politicians find out what voters will fall for!"

"I'm happy to support Alfred's run for office, mainly because I feel sorry for him," said Dale Creasy Jr. "We've got the MAD Racing Pontiac Firebird on the right track and we're absolutely guaranteed to have more success than Alfred has had in the political arena."

In his many bids for the Presidency, Alfred has amassed a sizable (though not impressive) collection of campaign slogans. Among them:
- Let's Put Some "Sap" In The Executive Branch! Neuman For President!
- Alfred For President - He Knows How to Spell Potato!
- Alfred E. Neuman For President! You Could Do Worse, and Lots of Times
You Did!
- Put Alfred in the White House! At Least It'll Get Him Off the Streets!
- The One Candidate Who Makes You Feel Good - About the Other Candidates! Alfred E. Neuman For President!
- Alfred E. Neuman For President - There Are Bigger Idiots Running!
