C'mon folks, let's have things in perspective. Being related to Vlad Tepec, sometimes surnamed Dracula, as a diminitive of his father's honorific surname Dracul (= the Dragon) might be regarded as a good thing these days.

After all, the last time the Muslims were really serious about fighting jihad, Vlad Tepec sent Mehmet the Conqueror back to the newly conquored Constantinople with his tail between his legs after he saw the treatment of the Turkish prisoners and dead. Vlad is one of those we can thank for the defense of Christendom, along with Charles Martel, St. Lazar and those who fell with him on the Field of Kosovo, the Emperor Leo the Isaurian who stablized the Imperial frontier against the first Muslims onslaught, the Venetian and Spanish admirals and sailors at Lepanto, the defenders of Vienna and the Polish relief column which saved the city.

Wow... this is the weirdest election in my lifetime. Since both candidates supposedly have a connection to the Count, I guess the undecided vampire vote will go to... Nadar?

This could explain why the debate rules specified no mirrors.
