THE COVETED FONZIE ENDORSEMENT

Whom does the Fonz (well, Henry Winkler) endorse?
After the jump, we’ve got the answer… PLUS! We’ll speculate on whom the rest of the cast of Happy Days would endorse for President in 2008.
Aaaaaaaaaayyyy-nd the answer is: Barack Obama:
“I think I’m an Obama guy. You can not be that articulate that often and not have it on the ball. People say we need “experience,” but intelligence and passion are what we need to fix this country again after what they’ve done to it.” -Henry Winkler to Los Angeles CityBeat.
Not too surprising.. the Fonz likes to be where the apparent “coolness” is.. even though Obama has certainly been bleeding some coolness genes in the past few weeks.
But it got us to thinking (Happy Days fanatic that we once were back in the single-digit years): which candidates would the rest of the Happy Days cast lean towards? So indulge us.
“Mrs. C”: Hillary Clinton (well, duh…)
“Mr. C”: John McCain (double-duh.. he served in Korea)
Richie: Hillary Clinton (Actor Ron Howard’s endorsed her in real life, by the way)
Joanie: Barack Obama
Potsie: John Edwards
Ralph Malph: Ron Paul
Arnold: Mitt Romney
Big Al: Fred Thompson
Chachi: Barack Obama (not a chance he’d differ from the Fonz)
Jenny Piccolo: Dennis Kucinich
Pinky Tuscadero: Not registered to vote
All this is speculation, of course, so PLEASE! Disagree with me! I’d love to get a lively discussion going on this. I’m just a Happy Days fan like the rest of you, as evidenced in this pic of me in a ‘faux Fonzie jacket’ from ‘76:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.
