I'm Canadian, so I won't stay long, but I gotta say I've got pole envy.

Edit: I voted for Chester A Arthur for that Simpsons episode where Bart's doing the play.

"Chestuh A Ahhtur"

Dick "Heart Attack" Cheney. Why isn't this in the P&N?

I voted for gore because he invented the internet.

[So]

TR has a pretty big influence on politics while he was VP. I don't think Jefferson had as big of a role. Not sure though.
