Not bat, Though I should point out that, technically, Lovecraft pointed out that Cthulu is not in fact evil or good. His though processes are so alien to ours that he is beyond our pitiful definitions of good and evil, as are those of ALL the Old Ones, Elder Gods etc.
Though I think he may have made a poor choice of running mate. Father Dagon is unlikely to get much popular support outside of Innsmouth, and there are certain tactical problems with having a VP who has to live in the depths of the Ocean. A better choice would probably have been Nyarlahotep. His million forms means he is adaptable, his job as herald means he is already a good public speaker, and in his avatar as the Black Pharaoh Nepren-Ka, he already has experience leading a country. Though in the current political climate, the fact he has a Middle Eastern name could be a problem.
But it may be moot anyway. As a recent
Robot Chicken skit pointed out, as someone who was born upon the dark star Xoth and currently lives in the sunken city of R'yleh Cthulu is probably ineligible to run (unless you want to pull the Count Bela defense that that law does not apply to individuals born before the creation of the United States and it composite colonies).
And you think youre a geek, you're (probably) not the one with a full set of the Toy Vault Lovecraft plushies sitting on his bed (well my bedroom dresser, but still) who can sing the HPLHS carols from memory (and now the Sea Shanties) and who has gotten his parents to promise to buy him this as a reward for when I reach my ideal wreight
