Jimmy McMillan: Politician/Rap Star
New York gubernatorial candidate Jimmy McMillan seems like he was molded to be a perfect viral-video star. He first stole the show during a televised debate, representing the Rent is Too Damn High party and entertaining facial-hair fans worldwide. But he didn't stop there. McMillan has had an action figure made in his likeness, released an album and even a music video where he plays his own landlord. McMillan only received about 39,000 votes on Election Day, but he certainly won the Internet's heart.
