It being a week from election day, I present a thread to post all your favorite videos, music or pictures that celebrate and/or lampoon our democracy and electoral process.

To keep this thing from being exiled to the D.C., let's try to keep this as non-partisan as possible. Please don't post anything that endorses or vilifies Obama, McCain or any other political candidate.

I'll start off with the Simpsons' "Citizen Kang."

Know what? Just watch the whole episode (http://www.hulu.com/watch/25443/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-the-gang-runs-for-office#s-p1-n2-so-i0).

Edit: That was perfect. I clicked on my own link, and guess who paid for limited commercial advertisement during the episode? That's right, Obama for America!
