Oh these are just FAB! Han Solo and Chewie 08 is now my desktop background. :) But seriously, I think Tigh/Roslin would win in a close race!
You're asking me to choose between Han and MacGuyver? Ouch.
I think I'm siding more toward Mr. Mac, since he could fix the Iraq War snafu and the economy with a piece of bubble gum and a shoelace.
DEfinitely Tigh/Roslin.
Or Adama/Roslin!
As chair of the Tigh/Roslin committee, I'd like to thank you for your feature.
With all of the uncertainty in the upcoming election, we think candidates who are willing to simply airlock the problems are the clear choice.
Stephen Colbert should be BEGGED to revive his campaign! (I think he'd like being begged.)
I would think Macguyver would shy away from the spotlight of a presidential campaign.
I think Colbert would really work for it.
The Reynolds / Washburn '08 ticket has my support...

I would like to submit for the approval of the midnight society the running of Mac/PC for presidency. It would be a campaign of unity! What an inspiring message.
I would agree with the Mac/PC vote, but it would probably start a nerd civil war to try to decide which is running for Prez and which is the VP... unless they could work out a co-Presidency situation. Even then you're risking a riot.
Han Solo is President! ...of my heart.
Don't you folks watch Dr. Who? The Master won an election for Prime Minister of the UK, so I'm sure he'd find taking over the US an easy task. Lucy could be his veep! Vote Saxon/ Lucy '08! (Hell, I'd vote for John Simm any day of the week...)
That would be ROSLIN/TIGH, I think. ;)
Cthulhu! Cthulhu!
