The whole world is watching this unprecedented event in history! For the first time in the history of the nation - the fate of the entire country will be decided by the handful of people who particpate in the Orbis Terrarum poll set up for this purpose. And because Congress has ruled that all candidates must appear on the ballot, even third party candidates have a chance!
Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann trade pointed barbs while loudly urging us to choose wisely. Chris Matthews drools his amazement, and George Will is simply outraged. He can't believe that the fate of our great nation might be left to people who are just as likely to vote for Jon Stewart or Snoopy as they are for any of the major candidates. Notwithstanding, this moment is ours.
What will we decide?
Vote now!

As for part 2, I choose Obama and Part 3, standard vote.

You cannot vote in this poll
A "voter intimidation" scheme no doubt.

I chose write in on #2 and #1 (as well as others on #1.) Methodology: 2nd.
My candidate: I am sorely tempted to write in myself.

Enka, there's a write-in ballot for whomever you'd choose instead of the listed candidates. You could write in "none ofthe above" but for the sake of this poll that's essentially not voting, since write-in candidates will be counted!

I considered writing in Superman, but I believe that, like Al Gore, he can do more good in his current role than within the restrictions of the executive branch. Also it's questionable whether he qualifies as a native-born American. In the post-Byrne comics continuity (and in the comics annual that explored in imaginary-story form what a Superman presidency would be like), he wasn't technically born until his incubator capsule arrived in Kansas, but other portrayals disagree.

I demand a provisional ballot!
