Which TV Character Should Be President?

Election Day has finally arrived, and TV.com users have selected their next president! In this rollercoaster of a race, we saw strong showings from candidates like David Letterman, Tina Fey, and Spongebob Squarepants--but underdog John Locke of Lost came from behind to run away with the win. However you feel about the outcome of the real election, we hope you're happy with the inauguration of John Locke!

  • Why not Ellen DeGeneres? I mean now we have the first black president.... why not the first gay president for tv.com?

  • Really? He was "elected"? That's sad...

  • Stewart and Colbert should have done better then that,i don't even know who that lost guy is...and i'm glad.

  • How did Sarah Palin get 20% of the votes?

  • How did Tina Fey end up with 20% of the votes?

  • To TV Com, your polls should only accept one vote per user.

  • One person just contiously voted, unlike us other fans.

  • 16 candidates and 58% of the vote goes to ONE person? Everyone who knows the slightest little thing about mathematics and statistical probabilities is laughing their heads off right now. Someone really went out of their way to vote excessively for Terry O'Quinn.

    This is NOT a reflection of the will of the TV.com users. This is the work of one or two people with nothing better to do than to rig the vote.

  • NOOO I WANTED STEWIE FOR PRESTIDENT!!! ITS THE NEXT STEP FOR HIS WOLD DOMMINATION lol

  • ahh, now it is time to put aside all of our differences, and come together as one tv viewing nation. You may not of voted for Locke, but he is still YOUR tv president, and he will earn your votes with amazing feets, such as learning about Jacob, finding his way, his fate and returning from the dead.

  • Spongebob was robbed! Recount!

  • Now there's someone who'd be an interesting president

  • Wow... we would all die if John Locke was our president. He's too much into fate and such... of the choices, I would want Ellen Degenerous.

  • Woah. John Locke is a president. Now that i'd like to see.

  • Hey the guy fell 8 stories and broke his back. I doubt a little star poking him in his back is really going to bother him. :-p

  • I'm happy with the star that's stabbing him in the back ...

  • President Locke's first act as TV President is to cancel shows such as: Spongebob, Late Show with David Letterman, Family Guy, Smallville and SNL. Locke for God!

  • Locke is the best!! Dharma beer and Apollo bars for all!!! You should be happy we stepped in, can you imagine if SpongeBob would of won?? Free jelly fish for all? YIKES!!

  • I don't really agree with who won but I think its funny. At least it wasn't the real Sarah Palin.

  • Oprah should have won, she's like god or something

  • This was a total rip-off. This guy went from 1000 votes to an insane amount in 24 hours. I demand a recount as well!

  • What's that you say? Tina Fey will outstrip us by thousands? *dies* The best candidate won...free Apollo bars for everyone!

  • I vote for Spongebob Squarepants

  • The real election better turn out better then this.

  • I demand a recount!!!

  • I pick SpongeBob! I only know him very well out of the choices!

  • But where is David Palmer (AKA Dennis Haysbert)? :(

  • We did it, people! And for the rest of you who think anyone hacked this: never underestimate LOST fans. President Locke FTW! :D

  • Go, Johnny Boy, go!! All hail King Locke!!

  • Mr locke.. hmmm.. Tina fay would be great..

  • "How did this happen!!!!!!!!!!" It happened because LOST fans caught wind of this poll on different blogs, and they are the most rabid fans in the world!! LOST fans came out in droves to click aimlessly in this poll, me included (while I was bored at work, haha) and we accomplished our goal. No "cheating" or "script writing"... just fan dedication. People who aren't savage LOST fans probably won't get it... watch the show and you will!!

  • Complete and utter FAIL..let's hope tonight's election results don't mirror these..

  • russkinz member since: Sep 22, 2008 Lost guys... I'm sorry. It's all over. Tina Fey is going up at a rate of 2:1, by the time election day ends at 6pm EST, she'll have outstripped you by thousands. ---------------------- Yup, what you said is true... :) Just look at how Tina Fey won. loool

  • How did this happen!!!!!!!!!!

  • All hail to President Locke!

  • I think Clark Kent should be Secretary of Defense.

  • i think House should be president he's too good to be just a doctor lol !!!

  • Locke wins with 50% of the vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oprah Winfrey! Woohoo! ^_^ ~XD~

  • BTW, I like these Rick Astley avatars they provide for us. Go Locke!

  • That should have said "crappy prezzy". Though she's pretty creepy, too.

  • russkinz comments are looking a bit silly now lol Go LOCKE!

  • Tina Fay sucks and would make a creepy prezzy. She needs to concede. John Locke is the man!

  • "This is my destiny!!" -- John Locke right you are my friend, right you are.

  • Locke! Locke! Locke! Locke! Locke!

  • Go, John, Go!!!

  • oh yeah Locke has got this...resistance is futile!! muahahahahaha

  • Locke hits 44%!!!! He will win this elecition!

  • Locke's closest competitor is 'Tina Fey' - nuff said :D

  • Spongebob all the way!
