Markos posted a fantasy straw poll on the front page. It was a nice gesture for Gore supporters, but it didn't go far enough. The nice thing about fantasy is that it doesn't have to have any bearing on reality whatsoever. So, if we're going to engage in a fantasy straw poll, let's go all the way, why don't we?
Feel free to project. Feel free to drool. Feel free to vote irresponsibly. Feel free to inflate egos that do not need further inflation. Feel free to vote for people who would never, in a million years, accept the job. Feel free to vote for people who do not exist. Feel free to drink and drive. Feel free to work naked. Feel free to think freely. Feel free to feel. Feel free to think of an elephant (or a donkey) not on the list.
My one regret? The poll needs about 20 more spaces to adequately encompass all the options I had in mind. Some others that I wanted to include (and who you might want to consider), but who did not make the cut due to space restraints:
-Maryscott Oconnor (hasn't been as present of late as she once was)
-Paul Newman (it was him or Mr. Incredible, and I'm afraid Mr. Incredible had the advantage in a fantasy poll.)
-George Clooney (see Paul Newman)
-Julia Roberts (see Paul Newman)
-Jerome a Paris (an absolute rock star, but, unfortunately not American)
-Daniel Craig (ditto, except for the rock star bit)
-Eva Green (see Daniel Craig)
-Christy Hardin Smith (How many major bloggers do we need, anyway?)
I could go on, but I'm getting tired, and my work is crying out its desolation and abandonment, begging for notice and attention. So there it is. Have at it.
