Of course, there’s a bit of bias here. I’m probably saying what everyone already realizes, but I suspect most people frequenting this site have most likely decided it was worth frequenting and thus, would probably vote for our buddy Bill.

That’s an obvious point there, Andrew. We weren’t expecting such a landslide though, since loads of republican and right-winged forums and websites are linking to this blog.

We’re thinking about changing the concept, and adding a name to the list every time. Poll #2 would have Bill, John and another candidate in there, dragging Bill’s A-score down a bit? ^^

I’m not a US civilian but I can judge that Gates will be great for the task.

Even if it is more frequented by Bill Gates fans, the margin by which the pol shows him in the lead is very impressive. Especialy if one were to look at the margins that recent presidential elections are won by.

An Addition, a possible problem with the polling is that many people will take voting in a pole lightly, and therefore causing people to think, “What the heck.”And proceeding to vote for Gates. This could account for further discrepancy in the vote.

[…] Once I got over that mental hurdle this post showed its face. The post, John McCain vs Bill Gates, has a poll where about 2,000 users have voted. Now one can expect it to lean in Bill’s favor, but the results were an absolute landslide. […]

Well I’m not an Amercan (Australia) But who you guys vote for makes a difference to the whole world. I’m not a real fan of Microsoft either. I used to be when I had an 8 bit computer with a Microsoft Basic complier. But now I get paid to support a LOT of Windows PCs. I guess you could say I was jaded. But I think that Bill Gates would be a good President of the USA. So it seems does Scott Adams, you know the Dilbert guy. Checkout his blog. No I won’t post a link. If you can’t Google you shouldn’t vote.

The fact that he’s an atheist is in his favor! Fundamentalist religious views, from all sides, are tearing the world apart. We need someone who can separate fact from faith in the White House.

Gates is evil but McCain is worse by far I am an AZ resident and McCain is not a conservative he is a RINO (Republican in name only). Gates has done some very questionable business practices on one hand on the other hand he is very visible due to the size of MS and himself. What I know of his political views I would think he is more of a Democrat I think he would raise taxes. I know McCain would. I am greatful for MS as I make my living as a network engineer and work mostly with MS products I work with Novell and Open and free BSD and some flavors of Linux but mostly MS. So without Gates I would be ??? It would be interesting atleast to see if Gates would run but I think that the skellitons in his colset would detur him too much

I am amazed everyday, how much more Bill Gates does for individuals regarding HIV/Aids Then everyone realizes. Now I am reading up on his work with our much needed schools. He certainly would get my vote. And no I really do not object to the cost of his products. As it would seem, sharing truly is caring.
Thank you Bill and Melinda

McCain is a tool. Gates is kind of a tool, but obviously a much smarter guy. My only question is this: Is gates for liberal pet programs and causes or is he for a limited government? That would make my decision on his policies much easier if he were to run. I don’t think he’s big friends with Clinton since Clinton spent more time and money going after Gates in the 90’s than he did the bombers of the USS cole, Khobar towers the first WTC bombing or the US embassies that were bombed (technically US soil there.) Hard to gauge where Gates would fall in the political scheme of things. He obviously has the cash to get a campaign going, but a lot of negative Windows press about viruses and that could be a huge downfall. He is simply the butt of too many jokes. Which is why hilary will never be nominated either. She was the butt of Clinton jokes in the 90’s, and still is today. People have not, and will not forget.
