Election: the Gathering

I would say "you may have seen that Something Awful recently posted a Comedy Goldmine of political-themed Magic cards," but realistically there's basically no chance that you, the person reading this entry, might have seen that.

So: Something Awful recently posted a Comedy Goldmine of political-themed Magic cards, based on a forum thread on that topic. While the Goldmine article contains a number of great cards, there are even more superb examples in the full thread that didn't make the cut somehow (although one of mine did, on page 8!)

Anyway, one of the unfortunate effects of goldmining the thread is that the thread is now closed, and I strongly feel that this is not an idea that has fully run its course. Moreover, I strongly feel that my friends could make some pretty amazing cards. So, below, I present the cards I made myself, and put the call out for further suggestions.

(To make cards, you can either use the online service MTGCardsmith or download the much more robust Magic Set Editor)
