    If I were US citizen I would vote for Obama. I think McCain is too old, choses the wrong allies (Palin) and he would continue Bush policies which have caused more problems than they solved. Both to the US and the world.

    If McCain wins and dies within 4 years the US is gonna have a total nitwit as a President.

    I think Gary is a spoiler to McCain's disadvantage in this SRP poll!

    You mean like the Pat Buchannon fiasco in 2000?
    In this case, even if all the Gary votes went to Micky D., Obama would still lead with roughly 5 % (can't be bothered to whip out the calculator)

    Yeah or the Ross Perot fiasco in '92! Buchanon didn't actually make much of a splash though in 2000 did he?

    No, but if I recall correctly, there was something with an unintuitive ballot layout which caused people to punch the hole for Pat Buchannon instead of Al Gore.
    This lost Gore a sizable number of votes, though I do not know if they were enough to have changed the outcome.

    Perhaps it would be better to compare Gary's influence on this poll with Nader's influence in 2000 (or 2004?), since the votes lost to pat were on accident, but the votes lost to nader were a consequence of his candidature.

    I never thought I'd utter these very words, but... she would be worse than Bush.
