US Presidential Election: Steven Colbert vs Paris Hilton, who has more votes?
No large statistics reported. One report of Paris for senate, but no larger reporting on the relative write-in numbers. Settles as other.
Background:
Paris Hilton has been a surprise Presidential participant, after McCain used her in the now (in)famous Celebrity ad, she has responded with several "campaign ads" of her own. Her latest is below. There are multiple fan sites for her, including the simply named, writeinparishilton.org who actually went to the trouble of a press release.
Colbert was running (mostly) as a Democrat and Paris seems to be running on a platform of.. well.. platforms and bikinis.
Who will receive the most write-in votes?
(For those of you who would like to think about this seriously, here's a guideline of write-in rules for the various states)
Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
Other includes MSM not reporting one/both of the write in statistics.

I wonder if McCain would have had a better chance with a McCain/Hilton ticket. The idea is less of a stretch than it used to be.
