Well, count me as another one who can’t vote (although I do have a preference). Still, it does make me grin to see people with their location swinging one way or another, just as a little reassurance that some people out there still care enough to type in a clever pun (or even a cringe-worthy one), and maybe even haul themselves down to the polls come November.

Just don’t let me down and start some bizarre inter-board civil war, 'kay? Well, less of one than is usual.

I won’t be voting for Obama, funnily enough, I just like climbing on bandwagons.

I think this whole thing is zarking silly, myself, there’s really only _ONE_ person worth voting for…

I’m not playing, it’s too silly…

[QUOTE=Jodi]  
Unfortunately, there’s no way to use the “location” field to signal how totally inane I find the use of the “location” field to convey political messages, without the universe being crushed by the weight of the obvious irony.  
[/QUOTE]  
Well, there is at least **one** option …
