Yeah, while I don't want to hand my "Not A Genius" title over to you... the premise of voting for either of those is a little goofy. Fascists and communists don't vote at all... which is why they aren't democratic. Abstaining from voting is something with which their citizen slaves didn't have issues.
Of course I get your point... but let's not make an Everest out of a pimple.

Did I say vote for anybody? I meant vote for somebody. I would hope somebody would necessitate someone on the ballot, but if not... put somebody in who you prefer. Hell, I could get all silly and put Howard Dean down for my vote.
