Seeing these "Optimus Prime for President" banners floating around gave me an idea. What anime character would you elect as president? Here are my candidates:
# Son Goku - The king of unilateral action. Not only could he invade Iraq without the support of the international community, he could do it without the support of the American military!
# Vash the Stampede - Although his criminal record bars him from legally competing in the presidential elections, this candidate's "Love and Peace" platform may be enough to make the American public look the other way.
# Kurata Sana - A strong, mallet-wielding presence makes Sana an ideal choice for America's first female
president.
# Nabeshin - All-around coolness and strong support from the United Fro League mean that Nabeshin will be a force to be reckoned with in this year's race.
# Haruhara Haruko - Despite consistently demonstrating her willingness to destroy all of humanity in the pursuit of personal gain, Haruko is more selfless and ethical than most presidential candidates in years past. Haruko's strong points also include strong guitar-based diplomacy and capabilities as a walking anti-drug advertisement.
