I'm Curious. Anonymous Presidential Vote.

Simple, anonymous. I pretty much already know what the results are but here we go anyway.

Edit: Why can't I edit this poll to add/change the options after I've posted it?

Do you not have one of these?

Not in Blackened-Green.

I'll write in Ken Hechler as a protest vote in the WV primary, but not even at gunpoint would I vote for a republican in the general with the current political climate.

I await the upcoming 2 party diatribe sure to come with grand anticipation.

Either way, it would take a miracle for the republicans to win the next election.
And it ALWAYS would take a miracle for an independent to win.

What? No Grue? Or is he running as an Independent?

How does Obama have 93% when there are no votes for the other options.

It's rigged, I tell ya!

Just like a real election, our current voting score has a 5% margin of error.

If we compare the final vote tally to our total members, we'd probably conclude that the turnout rate was like 1.4%.

In my demographics polls of the past, a good turnout was 100-120 votes.

Agreed. Best not to argue with a guy whose second middle name is Superallah.

Since I live in TX and TX will likely never go D again I normally vote for the Green Party as a protest vote. But this year I'll go ahead and waste my vote on D.

You're secretly an Obama fangirl. You're just afraid they'll kick you out of Texas if you tell anyone.

Well, the upside if he gets reelected is it'll be fun to see how he ages for ANOTHER 4 years.

Right? I sorta feel bad voting for people I like.

A "don't know" option would be nice.

... I don't get that reference. Is that something like the joke about a captain of the French Foreign Legion and a camel in a desert fort?

I don't know that one. Is it similar to the humorous anecdote about the snake and the little boy?

Not unless it is an Icarus mentality joke...

A captain of the French Foreign Legion is inspecting a remote desert fort in the middle of nowhere.
- So, men, he asks. - How do you keep yourselves entertained here in the desert?
- Well, we use the camel, says one of the soldiers.
The captain looks at the camel and decides he should see what it was all about. Twenty minutes later he comes back from the stables.
- Ah yes, I can see the appeal, he says, tightening his belt.
- Sir, we use the camel to ride to town, says the soldier.

Gee, thanks, West Virginia. There was no option on the Democratic primary ballot for write-ins for either POTUS or US Senate.

I'll vote for Obama in November, but today I left that spot blank.

Neither Manchin nor Raese (the presumptive Republican nominee) are even worth the effort to spit in the face, so that was left blank too.

I would have written in ex-Congressman Ken Hechler to both offices. Never mind that he's 98.

Oh for the love of pete...

The WV Democratic ballot for POTUS had Obama and Keith Judd, a federal inmate currently serving a 210 month sentence in Texas.

Judd carried 9 counties. And 40% of the overall vote.

Maybe he's someone a lot of the population of WV can relate to?

Go go gadget Gary Johnson. The 2012 Libertarian candidate.

Gary Johnson has as much chance of winning as the Cubs do.

No compromise. Even in the face of irrelevancy.

He went out the only one with convictions.

I'd argue Veldt had just as much conviction, if not more. He was just committed to world peace at any cost... including murdering millions. He has to bear that guilt the rest of his life. All Rorschach had to do was die.

I'm pretty sure Adrian was an egomaniac and sociopath. I don't think the weight of the murder of millions would have been quite as awful to him as being killed. Granted, this is interpretation of a fictional character. But we can smell our own.
