BREAKING NEWS:  EARLY VOTING RESULTS 10:30 AM EST:  Things are not looking good for the Illinois Senator with the philosophy vote:  with only 10% of the votes cast, Senator Obama trails Immanuel Kant (12%), Stephen Colbert (13%), A Philosopher Named Cohen (13%), and Any Four-Dimensionalist (12%).  There are reasons to suspect, however, that metaphysicians are over-represented in this sample.  We'll be watching this carefully throughout the day.  Meanwhile, Senator McCain, with 3% of the vote, is in a tie with former Weatherman William Ayers, Professor Myers of Pharyngula, and Ali G. 

UPDATE 1 PM EST:  Our scientific survey has been discovered by Pharyngula!  Expect a surge for Professor Myers.  Metaphysicians, Kantians, and political philosophers/epistemologists will have to get on the move if this is going to be a horse race! 

VOTE UPDAT 5 PM EST:  It turns out that the 1033 votes for Professor Myers were spoiled, and so have to be discounted.  (Sorry, Paul!)  Here then are the actual results as of 5 pm:

1.  Barack Obama (326 votes)

2.  Stephen Colbert (256 votes)

3.  A Moose (144 votes)

4.  Immanuel Kant (100 votes)

5.  Paul Krugman (79 votes)

6.  Any Four-Dimensionalist (76 votes)

7.  A Philosopher Named Cohen (49 votes)

8.  Ali G.  (41 votes)

9.  William Ayers (39 votes)

10.  Saul Kripke (31 votes)

I was particularly pleased to see that Professor Ayers got more votes than Senator McCain and Governor Palin combined!
