New Joomla! project lead, Obama or McCain?

This is for creative thinkers only with a sense of humor. If you are not one of them please stop reading!

With the American elections just a few days away let's take a shot and look at it from an other perspective.

Who do you think should be the new Joomla! project lead and why. Barack Obama or John McCain?

To give you a head start that is related to the world most of us live in:

Obama campaign uses LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP)
John McCain's website, as you can tell by some of the links, uses ASP.NET.

I think the US elections are a bit weird...just a comments from an European outsider. I am not into US politics, but I would choose for the youngest and most dynamic person, and in this case the one who promises the most change. Obama also because he is using open source, looks like he unserstand the great sprit of FOSS ;-)

I heard McCain didn't have the money to buy a 30 minute tv commercial, could that be because they aren't using Open Source?

Agreed on all points, but it is clearly surprising that McCain has a more robust social network at McCainSpace. :-)
