Barely Political : Americans channeling their favorite superheroes and villains weigh in on who their political heroes will be in this year's election and why.

Barely Political's Rusty Ward asked comic fans from around the country who they were voting for in this year's presidential election at the Comicon Convention in San Diego. A straight-jacketed Joker wished for Romney but says he will settle for McCain. Wolverine lamented Huckabee's defeat in the primaries. Plasticman gracefully announced he supports Obama and Hello Kitty felt the same way. A few Comicon attendees expressed support for Ron Paul and others just wanted to vote for anyone who can lower gas prices. Find out who your favorite superhero's Comicon representative is going to vote for this year...
