Remember Herman Cain, the Godfather’s Pizza baron who tried to be the next President? Specifically his love for Pokemon? Well Nintendo’s pocket monster are back in the political spotlight, this time connected to another nominee: Ron Paul.

No, the Republican hopeful that’s still in the running, but whom the mainstream news has all but forgotten about, isn’t a fan of Ash and Pikachu himself. But Jason Paige is, who sang the original Pokemon theme back in the day, and who also supports Ron Paul.

Despite one’s feeling about the candidate, the song above is pretty neat. Now all we need is Obama to get the voice of Optimus Prime to cut a promo for him, and the Presidential race will officially become exciting.
