Which TV teen would be the best class president ever?
The rumor on the street is that Glee is going to hold another class election, and this year it will come down to a one-on-one cage match between Brittany and Blaine. (Team Brit, obviously.) Nearly all teen TV shows (and movies) love a good student government storyline and, frankly, so do we. So I’ve asked our writers to nominate their choices for the best class president ever, and now I’m asking you to choose between them. Check out our nominees below.
Candidate’s Name: Amy Bradshaw (D.E.B.S.) Candidate’s Platform: High protein diets are overrated. Pirates are criminals. Nominated By: Lucy Hallowell, Paige Braddock
Candidate’s Name: Andrea Zuckerman (90210) Candidate’s Platform: Has fundamental ideological problems with teenage social rituals that basically do nothing but exacerbate fear of total insecurity and inferiority over one’s appearance while frenetically exploiting and, frankly, distorting the feminine ideal. Nominated By: Lucy Hallowell
Candidate’s Name: Brittany S. Pierce (Glee) Candidate’s Platform: Is a unicorn. Maybe a bi-corn. Believes in her own magic. Nominated By: Heather Hogan
Candidate’s Name: Cher Horowitz (Clueless) Candidate’s Platform: Has donated many expensive Italian outfits to her housekeeper. As soon she gets her license, she fully intends to brake for animals. Has contributed many hours to helping two lonely teachers find romance. Nominated By: Grace Chu
Candidate’s Name: Hermione Granger (Hogwarts: A History) Candidate’s Platform: Books! And cleverness! There are more important things – friendship and bravery. However, when it doubt, goes to the library. Founder and president of S.P.E.W. Nominated By: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Candidate’s Name: Janis Ian (Mean Girls) Candidate’s Platform: Awesome shooters. Awesome music. Sitting around soaking up awesomeness. Nominated By: Lucy Hallowell, Karman Kregloe
Candidate’s Name: Jessie Spano (Saved by the Bell) Candidate’s Platform: Does not support reverse macho pigism or caffeine pill addiction. So excited. So excited. So scared. Nominated By: Trish Bendix

Candidate’s Name: Naomi Campbell (Skins) Candidate’s Platform: Hates injustice, loves holding hands through the catflap. Nominated By: Heather Hogan
Candidate’s Name: Paris Gellar (Gilmore Girls) Candidate’s Platform: Would really like to get an ‘A’ on every assignment, and in order to do that she’s afraid you’re gonna have to discuss your sock hops and your clambakes some other time, OK? Nominated By: Heather Hogan
Candidate’s Name: Spencer Hastings (Pretty Little Liars) Candidate’s Platform: You know what they say about hope. It breeds eternal misery. Nominated By: Spencer Hastings
Candidate’s Name: Tracy Flick (Election) Candidate’s Platform: You can’t interfere with destiny, that’s why it’s destiny. And if you try to interfere, the same thing’s just going to happen anyway, and you’ll just suffer. Nominated By: Grace Chu
