I was going to answer with a definite maybe, but after I’d typed my answer I realised that I had a really big moral problem with that. After all, I wouldn’t want someone screwing up my choice on who I want for president so I suppose although I’d be tempted I’d only use the power of the magic ballot box agaist zombie-hitler or something.

Next election we’re going to have to decide if we want a tall person or a short person running the country. Grr… ---
