El Presidente: Poll

[Johnny Pneumatic]

If given a choice between the above fictional characters for US President, who would you pick? If 'other', please list.

[Dingfod]

I said Max Headroom, but I'm actually torn between Angus McGuyver and Ben Matlock. Either one would be a person that would make well-reasoned decisions based on the information available. How about they team up as running mates? Matlock-McGuyver; I'd vote for them.

[Crumb]

Matlock-McGuyver;
Ha ha, yeah the old fogie and spinster ticket.

Mr. Belvedere isn't eligible, he's foreign born. I'm pretty sure from his accent that Captain Piccard isn't American either.

Well, then Ellen Ripley can't, because she was born in the future when there's The Corporation and little else.
Capt. Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds can't, because he was born in another star system.
Max Headroom can't because he wasn't even born.
And THX-1138 can't, because he was also not born in the US.

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Jed Bartlett.

[Dingfod]

:yup:

Not if I can't.

I think I'd probably go for a balanced ticket of Jefferson Smith and Richard Blaine.

[SurfaceDog]

Gotta go with Ironsides. Nobody screwed with Ironsides. Plus, he's got that whole wheelchair-thing working for him...very FDR-ish...

[Belladonna]

Sorry I gotta go with Buffy the Vampire Slayer...it's about time we had a woman in the White House...of the non-vampire type that is.

[Dingfod]

As long as there are enough wooden stakes, she'll clean house.

[Sock Puppet]

I thought Ben Matlock was already termed out. Oh, sorry, I keep getting him and Reagan confused. I had the same problem with Dan Quayle/Pat Sajak.

[Waluigi]

I voted for MacGyver... his history of getting out of quagmires, unscathed, with limited resources, is exactly what we need to move forward in Iraq.

With a name like that, he's gotta be French, right?

Well, his accent is English, so I'd say Anglo-Norman. I do believe the storyline places his birth in the south of France. But then, according to Star-Trek, everybody in the future speaks English. Dog knows why Scots and Russian accents survived and French ones didn't.

South of France probably gets so over-run by sun-seeking expats that French accents only survive in re-runs of 'Allo 'Allo.

I vill say zis only once!

I thought they used universal translator things in Star Trek anyway - so Picard was speaking French, but we as viewers experience it as English.

Anywho, I would go for the Patrick Stewart ticket - Professor X and Jean-Luc Picard.

[Kyuss Apollo]

Ahh yes the old universal translator ploy.


I almost went with Picard, but Malcolm Reynolds would probably bring Morena Baccarin in as his Secretary of State, and in a mud wrestling match I think she would beat Marina Sirtis.

[livius drusus]

Picard, no question.
