A Shippensburg University US Government and Politics class conducted a mock election today. According to Professor Smith, here is the breakdown of the votes.
John McCain – 17 votes
Barack Obama – 9 votes
Hillary Clinton – 2 votes
Harrison Ford – 1 vote
The votes were conducted by writing the name of a candidate on the top of the index card, along with the primary reason for selecting that candidate.
“I was shocked to see Harrison Ford received a vote,” explained Professor Smith. “It really shows how out of touch some of America’s youth are with the US political climate.”
The comment accompanying the Harrison Ford vote provided a detailed explanation of how well he handled the Air Force One hijacking, and also commented on his work in Patriot Games. “I didn’t even see it, but just acting in it makes him more of an American than all of us.”
