McCain — Charisma, Rob Levac and Principal Guliani (Penny and Aggie), Jared and Rico (Fans), Peter (Sketchies). Most of the Penny and Aggie characters can’t vote, but if they could, Meg would be the biggest McCain supporter among them. Bob and Elmer showed up on Election Day, unaware that they (1) were not old enough to vote and (2) were in the wrong state to vote against the fags.

Baxter from Fans sends in his write-in vote for Cory Doctorow. Wasp from Sketchies sends a write-in vote for “who I’m not voting for,” in hopes of causing the entire electoral system to self-destruct.

Everyone else who could vote, voted Obama.

Geordi from Sketchies forgot to register.

Nobody likes Ralph Nader.

Ireland, the Iron Age. How the characters of the Cattle Raid of Cooley would vote:

Medb is tempted to vote McCain on PUMA grounds, but ultimately thinks Obama and Biden would be more likely to do what she tells them.

Fergus, as an old soldier, is McCain all the way. And that Palin woman has a nice arse on her.

Cú Chulainn’s only sixteen, so he doesn’t have a vote, and doesn’t care much either. Láeg, his charioteer, isn’t sure about Obama – too smooth by far – but definitely thinks McCain’s an eejit. He’ll probably go for Nader, or not bother.

Lug Longhand, god of youth and glory, is quite taken by Obama’s charisma.

The Morrígan, goddess of carnage, hasn’t stopped singing “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” since she heard McCain on the radio that time.

Jason: “Obama isn’t liberal enough, but I guess he’s alright.”

Kurt: “My car overheated last night; I’ve got bigger things to worry about. Obama will win Illinois, anyway.”

Becky: “Obama. Sarah Palin scares the hell out of me.”

Franklin: “I’m black, and I’m from Chicago. Take a wild guess.”

Neil: “I already absentee voted in California. I voted for Obama and NO on Prop 8.”

Allen: “McCain — Obama wants to raise my taxes!”

Sunny: “Sarah Palin is AWESOME!”

Jamie: Obama
Evan: Obama
Evan’s girlfriend isn’t a citizen, can’t vote.
Kiko: Small business owner, Obama.
Her waitress: Not a citizen, can’t vote.
Kid Zero: Obama (he has a problem with government interference)
Kyle Crest: Write in because he’s got conflict of interest between personal beliefs and corporate ones.
Forsythe: He’s an educator. Obama.
Hank: McCain because he wants the corp to thrive that he works for.
Azaria: Obama, because the Sarah Palin thing insulted her, but her beliefs were going that way to begin with.
