    I was pulling for Sylar myself; he really knows how to get into his constituent's heads.

    See, we can all get along on politics as long as we're talking about fantasies like TV and comic book characters, or Obama Hussein Obama. Kum Bai Yah...

    Harold Saxon for President. I'd vote him. I don't know why. He just seems really...nice.


    What the country really needs though...is a Doctor. :)

    It should come as no surprise that I'd endorse the all-AI ticket: HAL/Colossus in '08. Come on, you know they'd be good for us!


    Think about it, Skynet for Secretary of Defense, Proteus ("I refuse to assist you in the rape of the Earth.") as head of the EPA, Bender in charge of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms... I could fill out an entire cabinet with ideal candidates.

    You know, I'm normally against dictatorships, but I think Victor Von Doom would cut through a lot of the bullshit that constitutes so much of American politics. He'd probably improve science education in this country, too, even if it was evil science.

    Ackbar '08 has now replaced Jedi!Obama as my desktop background. Although, I might change it back later today. I've kinda gotten used to the "Obama '08: A New Hope" staring at me. :P

    I must admit the Conan/Swamp Thing ticket has me intrigued. It's a shame they're getting such a late start.


    Another possibility would be Reed Richards/Johnny Storm. No one can reach further across the aisle than Reed Richards. Now combine that with the fiery "maverick" Storm, and you've got something we haven't seen since...well...never mind.

    Zod's bailout plan makes at least as much sense as either of the "real" candidates. He's got my vote.
