With almost 100,000 Xbox Live members reported as taking part in the poll, the Obama / Biden ticket garnered 43% of the votes, while McCain and Palin followed up with 31%. The remaining 26% split evenly between "Undecided" and "Other."

I'm old enough to vote, but I don't see myself voting. I watch the election coverage on the news everyday so it's not like I'm not informed enough to vote. It's just the fact that I don't see my vote counting much.

[Vulcan2422]

Sweet! I wonder if the Palin Mugg comes with no brains just like the real thing!

[Run L1ke H3LL]
