A superhero costume or two would certainly win our vote!

If you've been following the flow of American election action this autumn, you won't need us to tell you that the second big presidential debate took place last night. Obama and Romney went in all guns blazing, and while they both made some good points, we can't help but feel like there's one man who could easily clean up at any presidential debate if he'd only bother to run.

As you've probably guessed from that resplendent superhero costume up there. we're talking about Captain America. Dragging a fictional super-soldier into the presidential debate discussion might seem like a bit of a leap, but when you think about it, he's a shoe-in: a patriotic do-gooder who's muscular enough to get physically involved in protecting his country if he needs to. And most importanly (at least where the presidential debate is concerned), he's loaded with irresistible charisma!

Frankly, we think a superhero costume would do wonders for the images of Obama and Romney alike. Captain America is the obvious choice, but any superhero costume would do: Iron Man, Thor and Batman would all make pretty good leaders if you ask us. Obama is rumoured to be something of a comic book geek, so surely he sees that every presidential debate, and indeed election, would be his for the taking if he donned a superhero costume and embraced that Captain America spirit?
