Yes, but how is Cthulhu polling?

I saw this story yesterday. What a bunch of pap. It's bad enough to have polls about hypothetical candidates== but now we are polling about fictional characters?

Darth was good at the beginning, went bad in the middle, got good in the end. Which Darth are we judging?

Darth Vader gets my vote!

I had one of the best evenings of my life dressed as DARTH Vader and carrying a DARTH CHENEY sign at the Walter Reed FReep the Friday after Cheney was called that!

All that says to me is Americans are disgusted with both political parties. I know I am.
