Political joke

[rivkat]

Could be read two ways: "I'll bet you this. If Mary Poppins and Dick Tracy vote on Election Day, they'll vote for John Kerry."

But who will get Lex Luthor's vote?

I do wonder about my interpretations of characters' political views. I always thought Scully was a Republican and Mulder didn't vote. In Smallville, I'm guessing almost everyone's registered Republican, though I wouldn't be surprised if Lex thinks he would have voted for Perot and McCain if given the chance. What do you all think? Is Martha a closet pinko? (Skip obvious Lana joke.)

Chloe would work for Kerry, even if Gabe votes Republican -- though he might be a sekrit Democrat.

Martha is voting for Kerry (abortion, also the draft), but she's not going to tell Jonathan because she doesn't want to get him all riled up.

Lex might well give money to everybody, then vote Libertarian. He might (at one point, anyway) have supported the Dems just to distinguish himself from Lionel, who is a *major* Republican contributor.

I'm not sure Martha's pro-choice, actually, but I agree that if she is voting for Kerry, she ain't sayin' so.

I also think Lex is going to vote for somebody who might win. He's wealthy enough that he might actually support Kerry, not being forced to survive on a mere million a year, and I agree that Not His Father's GOP is a big consideration.
