Who would win?

wataru · May 28, 2004, 06:49 PM

Do you want us to guess who MacNN would elect as a whole, or to choose who we would vote for if the election were held today?

Lateralus · May 28, 2004, 07:29 PM

Kerry.

Kitschy · May 28, 2004, 07:30 PM

Bush.

euchomai · May 28, 2004, 07:45 PM

Bush, always vote for Bush.

PacHead · May 28, 2004, 07:49 PM

I wonder how many non-American MacNNers vote in that poll. Luckily theyll have no say, come November.

ghost_flash · May 28, 2004, 07:55 PM

It's like this:

It's going to be between Kerry and Bush, and since that is the same as saying

Bush v. Dick

My vote goes for Bush every time.

Zoom_zoom · May 28, 2004, 08:16 PM

Even though I am not an american, i agree with gorickey, I would vote for Trogdor, he (I am assuming he) would make an excellent US president, he is so tough!

Yeah, we're really lucky that they'll have no say-so in the upcoming election because everybody knows that the relationship the world's sole super power has with other nations really doesn't matter...

He's a good man. I was watching him be asked once again about being picked as Vice President and his response was something like this:

I spent 5 years as a POW, kept in the dark and being fed scraps, so why would I want to do that again?

Cracked me up. Maybe he'll run in 2008?

i don't consider myself republican or democrat, although i lean more toward democrat...but john mccain is the man, i remember really wanting him to win the republican nomination in 2000. he would have gotten my vote.

If anyone saw Hannity.com this morning, Kerry beat Bush 75%-24%. Hilarious! I'm betting Hannity isn't gonna mention that one on his show.

Anyway...Kerry for me.

At what? Riding Bikes?
SUV Racing? Snowboarding?
Yelling at Secret Service People?
Cutting in line, because people all should know "Who he is"..?
Medal / Ribbon Tossing?
Flip-Flopping?
Marrying more rich biatches for their money?
Spitting on the graves of dead soldiers he left behind?
Voting for something before voting against it?

Define "superpower".

Bush is doing a lot of things. "Right" is not a word to describe them.

I voted Bush in the poll.

Friends and Frazier may be finished but I see no reason to cancel the Bush Comedy Hour.

Hey, I heard Kerry talk for the first time yester... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So you like what Kerry is saying?

Originally posted by zachs:

If he is sounding like Bush, then why hire a new guy? When the fellow running against him is just a parrot? He's nothing more than a Clinton wannabe, and he sounds like the old Al Gore the Bore...

Edit: Why would you vote for him then?

What does Bush sound like? I mean, he flip-flops every other sentence he attempts to speak.

But, yeah. Let's pick our president based on how exciting or boring they are. What a great idea!

As opposed to "how presidential" they look?

Although I feel Trogdor would not be the best democratic leader, I think the debates would be fun to watch. Bush and Kerry would have to watch what they say around him, or else they would succumb to inevitable burnination.

Socially Awkward Solo · May 28, 2004, 11:21 PM

At least you'd have something new to cry about. Look at the brighter side of everything.

I voted for Kerry in the poll. (Sorry, Ben.) I'll probably do the same come election day.

hyteckit · May 28, 2004, 11:32 PM

If it was between Dick and Bush, I would choose Bush.

At the moment a small block of cheese would give Bush a run for his money.

Actually, a small block of cheese might make better decisions.

I agree with the sentiment 100%.

The only problem is that that kind of thinking will probably result in another Bush win via the Nader effect (even if it's not Nader this time). I think it's better to push a specific alternative to Bush than to say "anyone but Bush." The anti-Bush squad needs to be united to score a win.
