Time to vote in the faux superhero mayorial race

As you might remember from Wednesday, the New Organizing Institute is running a training course this week for organizers and campaigners on technologically-enabled organizing. This training includes a mock-election of eight Superhero candidates for mayor of Washington, D.C.

Well, today is election day in the country's fake capitol; you can cast your vote here for which candidate you think would make the best mayor.

I still stand behind my endorsement of Green Lantern, who I think made a lot of great points on his site, but in the interest of fairness here are the other candidates he's running against:

• Atom
• Batgirl
• Batwoman
• Cyborg
• Green Lantern
• Spider-Man
• Superman
• Wonder Woman

The polls close in about an hour and a half, so vote while you can!

Update: Via email, the New Organizing Institute announces that Wonder Woman is the winner. Congrats to her campaign team, and to the Green Lantern folks for putting up the good fight and coming in third after the Atom.
