Jimmy McMillan of "Rent Is Too Damn High" fame has already announced that he wants to take his platform nationwide and challenge President Obama in a couple of years.
Now McMillan says he wants to keep his future campaign bipartisan with two Republicans he'd like as a running mate.
And the two lucky GOP members are: Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.
"Newt Gingrich has been there before," McMillan said in an interview on News Talk Radio 77 WABC "He is a good liar."
Romney, McMillan said, is good looking," and will "keep the ladies from looking at me."
I'm not sure Romney is that good-looking. McMillan, with his antics and catchy slogan, is used to garnering a lot of attention these days.
McMillan first broke the news of his run for president to Aol. Black Voices in December.
"Don't take it personally, Barack Obama. I'm coming after you if you don't wake up."

He said he was angry with President Obama for the bailout of Wall Street and the automobile industry.
"I'm not that dumb to not be able to figure out the math. If I have all this student loan debt, why has nothing been sent to me. We should waive every student loan for every student in America," McMillan told Aol. Black Voices in December.
McMillan received 40,000 votes in his bid for governor of New York state. He's also a pitchman for an Internet auction site and has been seen recently on a local New York City television station in commercials for the station's weather lady.
Just a few months ago, McMillan was bashing Romney and Gingrich. He said neither was qualified to address the issues facing Americans.
"I can sit here and say how to control the country in 30 seconds, and they can't say it in 30 years," he said.
After all, not much has changed since McMillan ran for governor. The Rent is still Too Damn High!
