DBWI: Who Are Voting For In '88

Who are you voting for in 1988?

Well the 1988 elections are coming up and Richard Nixon is running for his sixth term again along with new running mate Robert Dole. Opposing him is Adrian Veidt and Robert Redford. So who are you voting for?
 
I'm voting for Veidt. That moron Nixon nearly got us into having a nuclear exchange with the Reds. If it weren't for that incident in New York, we'd all be toast right now. Anyway, he's been in office way too long as it is.

OOC: Wasn't Ronald Reagan supposed to be running in '88 in the Watchmen-verse?
 
I simply don´t trust Veidt. Get me right, I´m not a conspiration-nut and I don´t take this "Rorschach-Diaries" serious, but I just do´n´t trust him. No pretty boys in the White House. I prefer Tricky Dicky.

I'm not American, but I prefer Veidt, he certainly has a charisma to him!

The rapid collapse of the Thatcher government here in Britain suggests that the Nixonites are on their last legs.

Not in the novel. Robert Redford is mentioned as running for President (though Reagan is mentioned earlier as still being the Governor of California).

OOC: That doesn't make sense. Reagan's like as old as the year he's running in by now, and he's probably going to go senile after a year. Bad movie makers. Bad movie makers.
