I figured that if I couldn't get away from the run-up to the presidential election (which, judging by the volume of press coverage on this side of the pond is apparently happening next week) then I might as well join in.
I know nothing about the vast majority of the candidates, from what they look like to which party they stand for, and very little about US politics in general, so I figured doing this poll might at least give me some idea of when I should be booing and hissing, and when I should be cheering :)

I'm voting for Pedro
If--by some crazy chance--Hillary Clinton wins, I foresee problems, because she would be the first woman President. If--by another crazy chance--Barack Obama wins, there will be OTHER problems, because he would be the first black man as a President. Then the presidency would be more about those issues instead of actually getting things done. If Guiliani wins, we'll have a reprisal of 9/11 goings-on. Bleh. I want to move to Canada. :P

Re: I'm voting for Pedro
1By which I mean that each report probably says a few different things about him, but the only one that they all mention, and mention first, is that he's black, so that's the only thing that sticks in my mind. The other facts might stick better if it was an election I was eligible to vote in...
