Is it a bird?..is it a plane?..no it's SuperGore.

I've found it surprising that noone seems to have commented on the fact that the Gore looks not at all unlike Superman, as incarnated by Christopher Reeve.

That's not intended to have any political significance, but then this sounds like an election that seem to be primarily about politics.

However that seems to be the shape of elections these days in a lot of countries. Both sides seem to have pretty well the same politics, and the argument is about which is more to be trusted, and which gives you the worse nightmares. (And I think it's safe that for most people in Europe anyway, Bush getting elected is a pretty scary nightmare. But I suppose that for the people who'll vote for him, that's just another good reason to vote for him.)
