Depends - are the Martians Democrats or Republicans? And are there enough
Martian votes to swing the elction? According to H. G. Wells they're into
pre-emptive strikes, so maybe they're Republicans? But the Martians were
right that Earth did have WMD of the most insidious kind: biological.

Personally, I haven't decided whether to vote for Kang, Kodos, or John
Carter.

I think we can all be sure that the lovely Dejah Thoris would make a much
better first lady than Laura Bush or Theresa Heinz-Kerry.
