I wouldnā€™t care if he were bald. I probably wouldnā€™t vote for a guy with purple spiked hair, but bald wouldnā€™t bother me. ---

> [@Der Trihs](#): > > Professor X yes, Lex Luthor, no. In the real world, George W Bush was elected president in the year 2000. In the DC universe, Lex Luthor was. Now, sure, Lex misused his power to pursue his personal vendetta against Superman, but I still think DC get the better end of the deal there. Also, of course youā€™d vote for Professor X. \*Everyone \* would vote for Professor X. Except Magneto, if he remembered to wear his helmet on election day. ---

Well, we may find out very soon- obviously, a thousand things can change between now and 2008, but if I had to bet, Iā€™d say the GOP will have a ticket of John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. Thatā€™s two pretty follically challenged men right there! ---

The 1952 and 1956 elections between Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson didnā€™t leave you much choice, did it? Not that thatā€™s so unusual in American polictics, the two major parties giving you candidates wtihout a significant difference between them them. ---

Heh. Good point ā€“ and excellent counter example. Thatā€™s 50 years ago, though ā€“ in our image-is-everything brave new world, would it be possible? ---
