Even if you have a formless, gnawing dread that he might actually win, at least he’ll split the Republican vote.

Varient slogan I recall: Why settle for the lesser of two evils?
Reminds me of a bumper sticker I’ve seen a couple of times in the parking lot of Fry’s Electronics (perhaps it belongs to an employee):
Cheney/Voldemort 2008
I think it’s a joke. These days, who can be sure?
I’m soooooooooooooo getting one. It’ll match my Iron Maiden sticker.
Plus, you have to consider that Cthulhu’s going to get you whether he wins the elections or not. But maybe if you vote for him, he’ll eat your first.

That’s the way I’ve always heard. In the middle of a sludgefest of a campaign, the irony of “why settle for the lesser of two evils?” becomes much more pointed. “Why vote for a lesser evil?” just doesn’t have the same effect.
I don’t know if Cthulhu would split the Republican vote, but he most definitely would win the Democrat vote by a landslide.
I actually remember when this bit first came out. GenCon 1990, iirc. It was almost as big a draw as the girl walking around in the chain mail dress…
I like it better. “Why settle for the less of two evils” is closer to the original, but takes a little more brainpower to parse out. “Why vote for a lesser evil” is more to the point, the way I look at it.
I’d use a “Cheney/Voldemort 2008” sticker – that’s funny!
Oooh… I’m torn. I was going to vote for General Zod.

Kneel Before Zod!
I think I have to have one of these too.
jeez, I thought he resigned back in ’74.
“Chthulhu’s the (Eldritch) One!”
Yes… I picked up my Cthulhu stickers at Comicon this year…
Making the same point is one I’ve seen near where I work:
“Republicans for Voldemort.”
The graphic is brilliant. I need one too, though I’m trying to dress the car mostly in Alohawear.
The original source of Republicans for Voldemorte: http://www.goats.com/archive/030808.html “I find it refreshing that there is finally a candidate without a hidden agenda.”
You can’t compare Voldemort to Cthulhu. Voldemort is merely a generic “evil wizard” in a highly unoriginal children’s series. Cthulhu, besides being vaguely cephalopodial (which earns him bonus points), represents not maliciousness but the primal uncaring nature of the universe. Cthulhu doesn’t *hate* humanity; he merely doesn’t *care* if his return causes our extinction.
