Pros:
Unique idea. Attack ads are lots of fun.

Cons:
Not very interesting to apolitical people. Depressing because it doesn't work quite like real elections do.

Review:
This software is hilarous, but it's definitely for serious wonks and politicos: Capitol Hill interns, policy analysts, C-SPAN aficionados, presidents-in-training, etc.
The mudslinging ad feature is a nice touch. It's fun to come up with all sorts of nasty words and images to lambaste your least-favorite president (or presidential hopeful). You can also create your own version of Karl Rove, which is slightly disturbing.
However, it would be nice if the game featured future elections (e.g., 2008) rather than remaining in a time capsule. After all, you can't really change history, but you can rally for progress.
Conclusion:
Worth a try--if you're preparing for world domination.
