Hotels.com's Captain Obvious mascot has announced that he is running for president - literally. In a TV spot announcing his presidential bid, Captain Obvious runs on a treadmill while telling viewers, "I've seen the other candidates, and I know I'm fit for the job. They don't seem very fit at all." Captain Obvious will be sharing his experiences on the campaign trail through social media, additional TV spots and a website - www.captainobviousrunsforpresident.com. According to Hotels.com, Captain Obvious will be promoting the brand throughout his run because "it's simple to book a room, and because he really needs a place to sleep at night."
