Obama's house vs. Romney's house?

Here's a strange press release. (Kudos to Jess Collier for sharing this one with me.)

TopTenRealEstateDeals.com wants voters in this fall's presidential election to pick which house they like better: President Barack Obama's Chicago home or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's New Hampshire abode.

Check out the press release below, then cast your vote here.

Enough with the polls, the spin, accusations, flip flops and non-stop commercials. Let's skip all the nonsense and get down to what's really important. Which candidate has the nicest home? Now, you can show your support for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, help us predict the election winner, and have fun at the same time!

Our motto at www.toptenrealestatedeals.com/ is “Real Estate is Never Boring” so we decided to have some fun with the presidential election. Both candidates own a beautiful home – or, in Mitt's case, several beautiful homes. Surely the candidates' choice of their personal home(s) should be an important part of the election debate. So, we decided the heck with the issues and the craziness. We will let the voters decide the 2012 election based on their favorite home – Obama's Georgian revival home in Chicago purchased in 2005 for $1.65 million, or Romney's New Hampshire lake house bought in 1997 for $3 million. Vote for your favorite home: www.toptenrealestatedeals.com/vote/.

Our Guarantee: We will predict the results of the 2012 presidential election!

Because much of the U.S. economy, employment numbers, retail sales and our current economic quagmire are based on the performance of the housing market, we thought that we might be able to use homes to predict the winner of the 2012 presidential election. After extensive research, and some difficult arithmetic, we have developed a very sophisticated and scientific method (which we refuse to divulge) that we guarantee will predict the results of the election on November 5th – the day before the actual election!

No ID Required to Vote!

No need to worry, or spend countless hours checking the most recent polls, praying, or pinning Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher voodoo dolls. At our website, you can vote everyday (no ID required) and know instantaneously who is ahead in the election. And, we promise that we will have the results of the Obama/Romney race before FOX, CNN, NBC, CBS and everyone. We 100% guarantee it!
