So based on actual candidates running for office around the country, whom would your
fictional army of toy soldiers give their votes to? (The question does assume that they're
all registered voters with their local election boards, of course.)

Obama seems very Tau to me. All smiles and greater goody goody. Then you get your Communion Helm fitted.

Obama is a Lord of Change.

My Marines would be solidly behind the only candidate to have served in the Military - Lord General John McCain.

They would have voted Democrat last time around then.

both candidates served in the military.. both had questionable records while they served. both were rediculous candidates.. both should have been flushed and two new candidates picked last time..

For some reason, I did not see that one coming.

Something tells me there were other choices on the ballot...a 2-party system only exists if we allow it to exist

To stay on topic, I think my Blood Angels would also vote for the candidate with military background.

I'm pretty sure Khador is on the list of states who sponsor terrorism, so they would have trouble naturalizing to vote. UNLIKE those filthy swan-waving southerners who just show up at the polls talking about high-tech jobs and better lives for their families. Ptew!

Menoth would have gone for Huckabee. Then burned Arkansas when he didn't win.

Unfortunately, my Tyranids would almost certainly vote GOP.

Consume, baby, consume!

Orks for Bob Barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


Those outside the US, he is a third party candidate (Libertarian Party). I bet you thought I was going to say the Green Party. MWAHAHAHAHA

Well, why wouldn't the orks be all about the fungus?

Maybe I should make an electoral map of some kind and
base the numbers on average model count.

High model count = 15 electoral votes

Average model count = 10 electoral votes

Low model count = 5 electoral vote

Barr
Orks = 15

Huckabee
Protectorate of Menoth = 15

McCain
Blood Angels = 10
Space Marines = 10
Tyranids = 15

Obama
Cygnar = 10
Tau = 10
Tzeench = 10

The Wood Elfs would almost certainly vote green.

Barr
Orks = 15

Huckabee
Protectorate of Menoth = 15

McCain
Blood Angels = 10
Space Marines = 10
Tyranids = 15

McKinney
Wood Elves = 10

Obama
Cygnar = 10
Tau = 10
Tzeench = 10

My old marines, The Sons of Hordini, would have voted for me via write-in.

Now wait a minute here, there's a process for getting on the ballot...

Unless you think that amending the constitution is politically feasible, we're stuck a two party system. While the founders didn't realize it, the structure of our government means that two party rule is inevitable. If you want more parties, may I suggest a parliamentary system such as Her Majesty's?

God save the Queen!

And your army's electoral selection?

Mine would vote Mythos. No more years!

Orks don't vote!
Orks krump da opposition and tell all da grots what to do!

Dwarfs for Bob Barr!

The past is always better than the future!

So they're Chicago Republicrats, is what you're telling me.

Barr
Dwarfs = 10
Orks = 15

Huckabee
Protectorate of Menoth = 15

McCain
Blood Angels = 10
Space Marines = 10
Tyranids = 15

McKinney
Wood Elves = 10

Obama
Cygnar = 10
Tau = 10
Tzeench = 10

platuanth: Not sure which army to assign to the Ragnarok.

My Orks would probably vote for McCain; with that many cars, he must be a Speed Freak too!

The Diamondbacks Chapter would vote Libertarian: more gun freedom, less Inquisitorial involvement in their affairs.

John Key, National party. Or possibly Lindsay Perigo, Libertarians.

Oh wait, you're assuming the US is the only country holding elections, aren't you?

Viperion

My Orks would vote for less government - Libertarian

My Eldar would vote environmental - Green

Barr
Dwarfs = 10
Orks = 30

Huckabee
Protectorate of Menoth = 15

McCain
Blood Angels = 10
Space Marines = 10
Tyranids = 15

McKinney
Eldar = 10
Wood Elves = 10

Obama
Cygnar = 10
Tau = 10
Tzeench = 10

Yeah I think so too. All this Obama=Tzeentch crap is utter bull****. Despite the fact that play Tzeentch Worshipers and support Obama at the same time.

McCain is simple...Tyranids .
