Who would you vote for (let's just assume for purposes of this topic, that everyone on Gamespot is a registered American voter)? Now that there are only a few candidates remaining, I thought it might be interesting to see who would be elected if the choice were left up to Gamespot members.

Me too... :-(, I don't really like any of them, but I'm still curious to see who others like the most.

Ron Paul would get a much higher percentage of the vote than he will in real life.

This. Ron Paul's biggest support group is young men. Who is the biggest group that post on gaming forums?

Maybe, but you could make the same argument for President Obama, who seems to be winning at the moment.

I don't know about that. Anyone remember that huge "Who WOULDN'T vote for Ron Paul" thread? There was like 4 or 5 people for Ron Paul and everyone else was against him. IF it was an internet vote Paul would win by far, but there doesn't seem to be that many Paul fans on GS.

It would end up being a contest between Ron Paul and Ralph Nader.

I suppose I would vote for Obama with a resounding "meh", rather have Obama so maybe he can finish some things, then Romney.

I'd do a write-in for Bill Clinton if he were allowed a 3rd term. Things were just better when he was in charge. Call it coincidence. Call it cooperation. Whatever. I don't care. He get's my vote. Short of that, I'm voting for Obama because the Republicans are just horrible and repulsive.

Obama. While I haven't been terribly happy with him, he's still by far the lesser of evils here.

Obama would win. Ron Paul would probably come in second because of all the contrarians in OT.

I see a lot of people who are living at home that haven't been affected yet by Obama's horrible policies. Just you wait until he can actually fulfill what he said to the Russians off mic about just waiting until after his final election so that he would have more *leniency*. A president that thinks of his constituents as hindrances is no president of mine that I want in there. He's a joke.

Those checks are one of the reasons we didn't have a bigger cushion for the recession we just got out of.

i think he was implying they are all massive authoritarian douche bags, whatever their slight right/left leaning may be it does not compare to their extreme authoritarian stance.

True, I was. No material difference between their presidencies. Ghokle was kidding with the socialism thingy though, we joke around like that. ;3
