Vote Gore or Bush, I incourage you to reply before you look at the other votes (of course you don’t have to, but it makes it more fun). Just respond with Gore or Bush, you don’t have to justify it, it’s just a poll. I’ll tally up the votes before the election results come out on Tuesday. Lets see if the the winner of this election is the same as the winner of the real election. ---

Nader. Gore’s going to win NY anyway, so I want to help him get his 5% to have a fair shot at the debates next time. ---

Gore. But I’m not from U.S. and don’t count. How nice of Silo to invent a virtual franchise for foreigners! Remind me to do the same for you sometime. 🙂 ---
