Jimmy Kimmel's Different Strokes for Barack Obama

Forget Hillary Clinton as Barack Obama's running mate!

Jimmy Kimmel has another idea.

Find out who after the jump...

"I think it should be Gary Coleman," Kimmel said at last night's Celebrity Scrabble Doubles Tournament in Beverly Hills benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "I mean, imagine Vice President Gary Coleman! He has some political experience. He ran for governor. He could be our man."

Back in 2003, Coleman was a candidate for governor in the California recall election. He actually placed 8th in a field of 135 candidates with 14,242 votes!

Meanwhile, Sex and the City star Willie Garson had some more personal matters on his mind Thursday night. He's in the process of trying to adopt a child through Los Angeles County.

"I'm asking for a two to four-year-old," he said. "I don't need an infant."

It hasn't been easy. "I started in October," Garson said. "I understand why people give up and do private or international. They really put you through it here."
