Having looked at both of the candidates(Seriously, Edwards doesn’t look like he has a chance at this point) and having found them both to be overpriledged sons of the elite who both strike me as being wishywashy liars with no real plan for solving problems(aka Politicians), I’ve decided…

…that I’m voting for [Cthulhu](http://www.cthulhu.org/).

Well, if you are going to throw your vote away, I guess it is better than Ralph Nadar.

Finally, a candidate whose positions are clear and honest! A fresh face (well, figuratively) among politics with radical ideas destined to shake things up. There may be some opposition from the religious right, however.

I don’t like Cthulu’s chances this election. Besides the obvious demographic shifts, and his showing in straw polls, I just don’t think the stars are right.

I"m voting for a candidate who can be all things to all people- Yog Sothoth, the All In One and One In All. Being coterminous with all space, Yog can campaign in more cities than any other candidate. Being coterminous with all time, he should be privy to everybody else’s dirty secrets.

And a mass of hyperdimensional irridescent bubbles will look great on camera.

Voting causes you to lose 1D6 SAN.

I don’t know. Seeing Cthulhu eat the reporters, specatators, Head of SCOTUS, etc at ignuration will be quite a sight.

I believe that **Cthulhu** has too many irons in the fire. 😃
