05/11: Bittersweet Victory
So Obama won and, for some reason, i don't feel that great about this whole "election" thing. Probably because my state is filled with a bunch of bigots who think that the Constitution was written with God in mind and not the American people. Oh well, if they want a theocracy let them have it.
Anyway, i was on Digg and i saw this MTV News article about what candidate Super Heroes would vote for.
First of all, they have Spider Jerusalem voting for Obama; now as much as I'd like to believe that Spider and I have the same political leanings, I can't help but feel that Mr. Jerusalem would see anyone other than himself worthy of the oval office. Also, John Constantine would vote for Obama if he was an American citizen... but since Jerusalem and Constantine are the same person according to Planetary, I guess that makes sence. Also looking at the article, it seems no one in the Marvel Universe, Punisher included, would have voted for McCain? For some reason I find that a bit hard to swallow.
Anyway the article has some pretty funny insights into how comic book writers and creaters voted and probably not so much into how their characters would have gone. And also, did I miss a memo that Peter David's Fallen Angel was a popular series? I guess I must have.
I really must say kudos to you Warren Ellis, shoe-horning that Gravel reference in the end there was probably the most ham-fisted way to advertise your book. Congrats.
