Annotation:
Grammatically this is OK, but in real life we would more likely not use such an imperative sentence, but would say one of the following.

http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/1349542
You should run for president.
http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/1349541
Why don't you run for president?

No, I've heard this exact sentence multiple times. Although an exclamation point would probably make it more accurate.
