With the final presidential debate behind us, and the election fast approaching, many of us have begun to imagine how the world will change come November 5th. If you’re feeling too bombarded with Obama/McCain/Palin-saturated news feeds, we invite you to consider a different possibility: a Jewish woman as your president and vice-president.

Jewish women have a rich history in activism and politics but, as we know, none have ever made it to the oval office. So, in an imaginary world, a world where change is as bold and risky as we dream it, which Jewesses with attitude would you want in charge? Cast your votes, and come election day, we’ll post the results!

Note: be sure to read the descriptions of the candidates and their parties and take a look at the current standings before you cast your vote. [Update: Poll now closed. Results are here.]
