Speaking of elections, I'm surprised that I never caught this before considering that I'm a huge Gilmore Girls fan, I'm surprised that I've never caught this before ( perhaps Amy Sherman Palladino & Daniel Palladino just haven't made a big issue of it?) - but I just read something interesting on Salon and then confirmed it (thanks to a Google search) on the Village Voice:

On Gilmore Girls, Sherman-Palladino has carved out her own wishful-thinking world that closely resembles our own, only smarter, gentler, and funnier. In fact, according to Sherman-Palladino, the place even has political advantages: In Stars Hollow, Al Gore is president.

Shoot, why not take it a step further and just elect Nader or let Clinton serve out a few more terms?!
