@twnslick (and to everyone) -- Please keep the language clean, so even a nine-year-old could read this! Sure, I know it's counterculture to YouTube comments, but I can try!

@crunchybubbler All that is said in the video is that Ron Paul said "I don't know." Did you want us to hire actors for a re-enactment after I blew our video opportunity?

Pushing all politics aside, which candidate would you say is the most engaging with kids?

[TheMetalProxy]

Herman Cain would be Superman so he could see through womens' dresses!

[ChargersFan08]

Ron Paul could never be a superhero because he would only have powers enumerated by the Constitution.

@Elementa2006 you're right, I mean, clarke kent--now there was a real gent. superman never made any money for saving the world from solomon grundy

[Elementa2006]

I'm personally a Superman fan myself but not for the reasons they stated, here's this powerful being who could do a lot of things even rule the entire planet. Yet, he would rather use his powers to help those in need and is a very modest, down to Earth person.

I pretty sure Mitt Romney should have said Mr. Fantastic... I mean look at that hair!

No surprise there, NONE of them chose Thor, Hulk or Goku, LOL!!!

Yeah! Spider-Man & Superman are the two BEST of them all!!!

[whtukall]

Well if Superman was to chose to conquer the entire earth, the illegal alien issue would be "DISSOLVED". All Americans with ancestors from Great Britain was all illegal aliens before Dec. 12, 1787.

little disappointing in ron paul thought he was gonna say captain america but oh well

To all the candidates that chose Superman:

Have you seen his birth certificate? Did you know Superman wasn't born in the U.S.? The Birthers would have a problem with that.

Clark Kent's real name was Kal-El. You know that voting under an assumed name is voter fraud, right?

Can you prove to me that this guy was ever naturalized?

Two can play at that game...

Herman Cain would be Superman, but he's into kryptonite? No wonder he's not in the race anymore.
