Nah, you actually feel like your vote counts on American Idol.

No. More people care about what happens on american Idol. They just wait for a President to be elected so they can complain.

Anyone who thinks their votes actually "count" on American Idol is living in a fantasy land. AI winners are chosen by corporations - its all about money.
So yeah, in that respect, its just like a presidential election (minus the electoral college and stuff).

Sort of.. I like the analogy. American Idol gets just as messy and mean as the elections!

I firmly believe that this nation has been destroyed from the inside by greed .
The greed of republicans and democrats over the years with only one purpose in mind . To bankrupt and destroy the american worker .
See he is the only threat down through history that has shown any spirit .
He has started the revolutions and destroyed the evil people who have abused the people .
We have the highest level of abuse today by the political ellite and the people they work for the fortune 1000 companies of america in an effort to keep wages low and profits high to line the pockets of the chosen .

Presidents are voted in by state counts. American Idol is by individual vote. I wish Presidents were by individual vote.

It is to the DemonCrats. They look at popular opinion to make any decision. GW would be voted off in a minute as he is a leader and is willing to risk all on the Unpopular decision.

Sort of.
Again and again, you feel the best candidate being left behind in the clamor for some empty-headed no-talent who just clicks with the bubba demographic.

Yes. Either way the idiots win and the deserving person gets the shaft.

Actually, you made a valid point.
Idol voters choose the best talent that sings the best.
In politics, voters choose the best talent that talks the best.
