So far, Barack Obama and Ron Paul are the runaway favorites.

Neither Antonio Banderas nor Jackie Chan were even in the top 5??       ;)

Do you think this would be a good idea?

If not, who gives a shit?

Interestingly enough, on the country vote breakdown Ron Paul has like double the votes over Barack.

    We may do something like this for real someday , but a guy like me has dozens of computers availible , what could be done to keep me from voteing for my favoriate a lot?


        Does the endorsement of all the world put a real feather in the cap of a canadate?

       When John Kerry said that American policys should pass a "global test", I thought it hurt him.

I know. It's kinda weird. But then Ron Paul is one of the few (maybe the only one) candidates who has Meetups in other countries. The man has a sort of international following apparently. And yet he gets next to no press here in the U.S. How does that happen?

That should have said "Ron Paul has like double the votes over Barack in the US."

You're right. I misread what you said before. Still think it's interesting though.
