Since many, including Jeff and Randy, have invoked a note of cynicism regarding the preferred options for president, I thought I'd take a poll on what platform your candidate would support:

While it is easy to say that I don't like a particular candidate, it might be difficult to narrow candidates down to one that satisfies all our particular opinions.

Unfortunately, I have to let everyone pick all options. I trust that each of you will pick only only one option for a particular issue.

The point of the poll is to demonstrate that it is difficult to develop a platform that we can ALL agree upon.

So then, what should be the "platform"?
