Wait a second, Sarah Palin hasn't announced anything yet. Why's she on the list?

I just got my shop to put me down for 10 copies of Ron Paul. I'm very curious how this will turn out.

I'm more interested in seeing what a Rick Santorum comic would look like, since he basically only gets bad press.

Can they even publish a comic book about santorum? I mean, wouldn't it have to be for mature readers only, not for sale to minors, and even polybagged (for multiple reasons... ew!)?

Unless, perhaps, it's for some purely medical and non-prurient interest... still ew!

I think i will vote for the liar who will do nothing but try to promote a selfish agenda and not care who gets hurt who looses everything and how badly they hurt the country....I am permitted to vote for all of them right?

Wait a second, Sarah Palin hasn't announced anything yet. Why's she on the list?

Sarah prints money. That's why the print media plaster her face everywhere and the TV media follow her around like dogs in heat. They all hate her, but they love the audience (money) she gives them.

That said, if I were to buy just one of these, it would be Ron Paul's. He's an isolationist, but he's still the right person in this bunch to get our financial house in order, which needs to be our top priority after having 11 years of out-of-control spending from the WH. With a healthy win, he'd have the political clout to push major reforms thru a Senate & House that don't seem to care about anything but their own continued power.

Kinda curious to see what Boom! does for Herman Cain too. I've become a big fan of him as a person.

Were I to guess who would win THIS contest, I'd say its between Ron Paul & Obama.

This is a cool idea, but I'd be more interested in seeing it after the Republicans actually settle on a candidate. I mean, it's pretty much a given that Dems/liberals will 'vote' for Obama, but Repubs/conservatives will have their vote divided among nine contenders. I predict that Obama will win this straw poll.
