Default a better vote

Who is your choice:

The Geico gecko or
The Geico caveman

and if you think this is a stupid poll just wait until November when you're totally fed up with the other voting news!

my choice - Caveman

OK NJ. One vote a piece ... as long as neither is a hanging chad, it's a split decision so far.

Um, none of the above. Oddly, I have GEICO for my insurance company but I'm sick of both ad campaigns. I liked the gecko when it first came on. I liked the caveman one where the two are talking at the party and the third interrupts but that's about it.

Well, from what I can determine it's two for the caveman and one for the gecko and another undecided. And Sam ... I think I can see where you are coming from - you like the caveman type who has a little rhythm to him. Be leery of that softer side, though. Those cavemen are sinister. They'll tell you want you want to hear then hit you over the head with that big club and drag you by the hair of the head and ... and ... oh, I have to sign off and take a cold shower. bye

Gecko. But he can't run for president can he? I think he's a Brit or an Aussie. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

I have to vote for the Caveman, his sense of outrage just cracks me up......but I must admit, I think the Gecko is very :2cool:, and I love his accent.

I don't care for either candidate. I prefer the commercials with the actual celebreties in them. Does that make me an independent? 8)

uujudy has a very good point. Could this be the beginning of a groundswell of independents bringing their candidate to the people? Or will the deep pockets of the Gecko and Caveman be just too much to overcome? This is just what this country needs; a viable third-party candidate with uujudy as the Campaign Manager!

Do you think that third party independent can be . . . The Aflac Duck? Or do you think he's too old??? :joke:
