I would like to vote Nowhere, but I suppose there are places where we are now and need to say for a while longer…like Korea.

I picked Japan, Germany, and Korea for various reasons. Japan, because they have no standing army and it keeps China in check over Taiwan; Germany, because it gives us a European presence into the Middle East and that’s where we treat our wounded soldiers from Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. and Korea because those North Koreans would overrun the DMZ in a second if they thought they could get away with it and we also fight Al Queada in the Philippines, and all those various weird countries over there.

‘Nowhere’ was the overwhelming winner, but I believe many picked it as a knee-jerk reaction, without due thought.

I picked Germany and Italy, because we cannot otherwise fulfill our obligations under NATO.  I picked Japan, because I’d rather the US defend them than have them rearm.  I picked South Korea, because North Korea will invade otherwise.  I picked Texas, to safeguard the US from InsaniTEA.

The new poll is a mock Presidential election between formally announced candidates.  I also included Romney, because he will announce tomorrow.
