Your vote counts!

[Scabbed Angel]

Here is a hypothtical question, and I'm intersted in all of your answers. This is election '30, and here's your chance to vote.

Here are the facts about the three leading candidates.

Candidate A - Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B - He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C - He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be your choice?

EDIT: Poll should read
Canidate A
Canidate B
Canidate C

Until the mods can change this, please use this when voting. Thanks!

I voted C (3rd candidate A :-) because the other two seem like slackers, even though C sounds like a prude.

fixed, and this is old

Most of those qualities are completely irrelevant. Is this supposed to demonstrate how little U.S. elections focus on the actual politics?

I suppose so, but it sorta defeats itself by not offering any political information to begin with.

[Scabbed Angel]

Yes, this might be old, but I think its interesting and wanted to share.

No, has nothing to do with US voting priorities. It has to do with perception vs. reality.

Thanks Mods for fixing the poll, and Arioch for not elaborating before enough people have had a chance to vote. Thanks! Check back in a while and I will post the answer to this riddle. Keep voting though.

This is an old joke.

[Scabbed Angel]

I wouldn't say its a joke.

You've spelt candidate wrong in all poll options.

[Fredrik]

Okay, I kinda guessed who number 3 was before checking the answer.

It's funny to me because i've heard it before.

Candadite C is Adolf Hitler. I forget who A and B are.

[Arioch]

Way to ruin it.

It's Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill I think, I forget which is which though.

[Draconio]

They all smelt a little fishy to me, I went with B because he sounds too zonked to do much damage.

[Tyockell]

This is to fucking hard and that question was to long cant I just vote for all 3?.

Yeah, good job, dumbass.

Yeah, that's who the other two are. Well this lasted about as long as I thought it would here on Doomworld. Thanks for those who knew but didn't say. I voted for Hitler. Without putting too much thought into it, I found that most did. Interesting how perception can be manipulated, I think.

Its funny how everyone here could not trust something that sounded too good to be true. I guess its Churchill '03.

[Sharessa]

I voted Candidate B, because he sounds kinda like me. Interestingly enough, Winston Churchill is possibly my favorite of the three, though I'm not really fond of any of them.
