Cartoon Network's Cartoon Campaign 2000 is electing the next president from
a field of 50 cartoon candidates. Cartoon Network will provide the hopeful
candidates with free airtime from 7-9 p.m. each night between Sunday, March
5, and Thursday, March 9, 2000 when they will screen their own personal
cartoons for viewers. During each night's election coverage, viewers can
vote for their favorite characters via an 800-number that will appear on
screen. The votes will be tallied the following week, and the results will
be unveiled during a 10-hour countdown of the top-50 vote-getters from
12-10 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, followed by a mini-marathon of the
election winner on Sunday, March 19, from 7-9 p.m. These final election
results will also include votes cast on-line at CartoonNetwork.com and via
800-numbers found within specially-marked packages of KRAFT Kids food
products. Frankly, after the recent endorsement of former U.S. Senator and
presidential candidate Bob Dole, Bugs Bunny currently looks like the heads
on leader.
