05/10/04: This was just an update on the polls that were open and running
at the time. I blatantly put myself in this fic! Yeah! Just call me Mary Sue!
A Quick Look At The Polls!

Peter Jennings: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, an election
special. Who is winning? Who is losing and who just might pull ahead? Let's
go to our reporter, Gemini, who is live in Washington D.C., with the current
poll results. Gemini?

Gemini: Thank you, Peter. Ladies and gentlemen, here are the current
statistics:
Himura Kenshin is leading with 45% of the vote,
following in second place is Hiko Seijuuro with 28%, Yukishiro Enishi has
captured 17% and Shishio Makoto trails at a distant 10%.
We have Himura Kaoru, Himura's wife and top political advisor, standing by.
Himura-san?

Kaoru: Actually, I prefer to go by Kamiya. Kenshin moved into MY house. If
you ask me, he should change HIS name to Kamiya.

Gemini: Err..right. Anyway, how does this early lead make your camp feel?

Kaoru: Elated, and not at all surprised. I'll admit that we were a little
worried when Hiko opened his big, fat mouth and joined the race, but as you
can see, it hasn't really mattered.

Gemini: What about Kenshin do you think resonates with the voters?

Kaoru: Well, his beautiful hair, deep violet eyes...(gets starry eyed)

Gemini:(sweatdrop) Actually, I meant, what about him politically?

Kaoru:...and his rough hands...(recovers herself) Oh, that? I dunno, he's
just really sweet. He has everyone's best interests in mind and the people
can really sense that.

Gemini: Okay, thanks KAMIYA-san. Now, we also have Seta Soujiro, advisor to
Shisho Makoto. Seta-san, how is your camp reacting to Shishio's low numbers?

Soujiro: Actually, we don't really advise him. He doesn't need us to.

Gemini: Right.

Soujiro: Shishio-sama has decided that the United States of America is
a very weak country, and as such, must be destroyed.

Gemini: Saying that with a huge smile on your face is kind of creepy,
Seta-san.

Soujiro:

Gemini: Right...Peter, back to you!

PJ: Thanks, Gemini. Good job on your first blatant self insertion fic.

Gemini: Why, thank you. I'm no Katie Couric, but I get the job done.

PJ: Any last thoughts?

Gemini: Well, I'd like to thank those who have already voted and encourage
the rest to drop by the polls and cast their vote! (05/10/2004: No, don't, 'cause
they no longer exist.)

PJ: We all hope they will. Next, we have a disturbing expose on the nature
of crime fighting. Have the police gone too far? A recent episode of COPS
from Tokyo exposes the seamy underside of the police.
And one officer, with his own code of justice, comes under fire.

A clip rolls (the theme song of COPS can be heard.)

The suspect was seen snatching a purse from an old lady, nearby officers on
foot gave chase.

Saitou: Aku Soku Zan.
Suspect can be heard screaming.

PJ: Disturbing. Next, on Nightline.
