The Anti-Obama

Senator Obama is running his presidential campaign on "change." Well, when I read this story online, I knew that I'd found the Anti-Obama:

Romanian village re-elects dead mayor
Neculai Ivascu, 57, who ran the village for almost two decades, died from liver disease just after voting began -- but still won the election by a margin of 23 votes.

"I know he died, but I don't want change," a pro-Ivascu villager told Romanian television.
Yup, the Anti-Obama! Of course, we are talking about Romania, where Transylvania (Home of Count Dracula) is located. They have some experience there in being ruled by the dead, or the undead, anyway.
