Tickets to Charlie Sheen's live shows are selling like crazy. He broke the speed record for acquiring Twitter followers. He's become a folk hero with fans. So why not Charlie Sheen for president!?

According to a new poll, independent voters say they favor Sheen over Sarah Palin by a 41/36 margin.

And it's not just independents who are supporting the tiger-blooded warlock. Democrats would support him by a 44-24 margin for president over Palin and Republicans would support him 37-28 over Obama.

The conclusion from Public Policy Polling.com: People may not have any respect for Sheen but they still think he'd be a better alternative than their opposing party's leading figure.

Notes our On Politics blog: This poll is particularly important independents because they're a crucial bloc needed for winning the White House.

And is everyone on board with a president who would have two goddesses as First Ladies?
