Yes, and unfortunately she's not yet 35, and thus constitutionally ineligible to be president. However, she is old enough to serve in the House of Representatives...maybe she can run in 2010.
Seriously, she's run the best fake presidential campaign since Gracie Allen ran under the banner of the Surprise Party in 1940 (apologies to Pat Paulsen). If Paris worked on honing her comedy skills instead of doing stupidly vulgar movies for frat boys (or sex tapes, for that matter), she might actually have a future as an actress.
It's been done: a Paris-like character ran for Congress (and won) in Wild in the Streets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_in_the_Streets) back in 1968, to the sad detriment of the country (although the movie gave us the great song "Shape of Things to Come (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g17OT7_YzLM)").
Rather than thinking of Martin Sheen as a Fake President, I prefer to think of Jed Bartlet as having been the Real President in the good mirror universe, on the other side of us (dimensionally speaking) from the "Mirror, Mirror" bad mirror universe.
