Please!  No dispute on this post.  The decision of the people is final!
 
Well, folks, the election has come and gone.  The voice of the
people of the USA (the United States of Anime) has spoken.
Thanx to all of you who promoted their candidate with vigour and
vim.  It was a pleasure to read all your comments.  But the time
has come to reveal the victor/s, and the vanquished.
 
(BTW, as a (-:*serious*:-) point, this poll was meant as a
topical piece of fun.  I didn't mean to tread on anyone's feet
by suggesting that any of the "real" candidates were not as good
as the anime candidates.  Also, being from another country, far
be it from me to influence your decision in the *real* poll,
although my original post did give away my preference- but that
was through observance of US current affairs, and my perception
of the stances of the presidential hopefuls.  Be that as it
may,... what was that?  Oh, get on with it?  Sorry...)
 
Okay, the following candidates polled only one (1) vote:
 
(BTW, the order: President/Vice President)
 
Kaos (Samurai Troopers)/Locke the (soon to be ex-) Superman on
the "Nice Guys Finish Last" ticket;
 
Ranma/Ranma from the "Two Timing" party;
 
Kei/Yuri or Yuri/Kei, campaigning with the slogan "It's Not Our Fault!";
 
Uncle Carl, the written off candidate;
 
Dai Puma, on the demi-fundamentalist scroll;

Katsumi Lum-chan, picking up the minor vote (she's only 15);
 
Eve, with the Electronic Media monopoly (and also fresh from her
victory for the r.a.a mascotship); and
 
Akira (and who would argue with him?)
 
 
In third place, polling two (2) votes (and also the Perot tag):
 
Arsene Lupin III/Jigen Daisuke, who fell behind when people
realised where the funds for Congress' check account went...
 
 
In second place, polling three (3) votes (and the Bush tag):
 
Char/Amuro, Desslok, of the "Gundam/Gamilion" coalition party,
who started strongly, but when people realised what he meant
when discussing his disarmament policy that he would "cast the
first stone"...  (Also NASA campaigned strongly against him.)
During the Vice President debate, viewers responded negatively
against Desslok, citing "How can you trust someone with a blue face?"


And in first place, polling four (4) votes, here is your President...
 
(this is not going to please someONE...)

(strains of Handel's "Zadok the Priest")

winning on the basis that she is half American, she smoked in
her teenage years (just like Clinton), and that she was involved
in a sex scandal (just like Clinton)...
 
MADOKA AYUKAWA!!!!! (with Hikaru as Vice President; well, you can't win
everything)  A good reason for her versatility ("she'll
singlehandedly run the White House kitchen while simultaneously
negotiating a peace treaty in the Balkans on one phone and a
trade agreement with (where else?) Japan on the other phone" - P
Agitator), augumented by a controversial sex scandal, when she
was accused of being a prostitute, was the main reasons for
victory.  The sympathy gained was further increased when she was
reputed to have said that she "would never sell herself short",
a statement that was proven to be false.
 
So, that's it.  Thanx to the following for their cooperation and
sense of humour.  Without them we would be leaderless and
wandering in the dark.
 
Sea Wasp, Leslie Mills, Kevin Coram, Dennis Nedblake, Carl_Horn,
P Agitator, Chris Timmer, E Kontei, Donovan Guy, Chaosmage,
Panda(!), Yoshih Lee, Mitch Hagmaier, Benjamin Wai, Ryan Matthews,
N Polevaulter, Chris Thi Nguyen, Katsumi Lum-chan, P David, Jyan-ken (the latter
two the mainstay in the defence of Madoka Ayukawa's honour.)
 
Now, the candidates for the replacement for Millie are:
 
Mr. Soichiro and Jingoro.
 
Post your votes... NOW!
 
Thanx muchly,
 
Widya Santoso.
