Voltaire and Camu Vote for....

The 2012 U.S Presidential elections are nearing. Next Tuesday, November 6th a large number of Americans will vote. 
I do not see Voltaire voting for any of our two big parties, he is not going to vote for Romney or Obama. Voltaire will go up to the polling place and either vote for a third party, such as Gary Johnson. Voltaire values civil liberties, something that in his earlier life had been severely restricted. Voltaire criticized everyone and their mother in his books, and under Johnson his personal freedom would still be protected. The government under Johnson, as Voltaire sees it, be more efficient. Either he'll vote for a third party or do his own write-in candidate. Who knows, he might write himself in. 
Camu would not show up to vote at all. I feel like Camu sees no point in going to vote. The views that any parties showcase are not something that he would be attracted to vote to. He gave raise to the idea of Absurdism, which states that it doesn't matter how much or long we try to look for the meaning of human life we will fail inevitably. So, I do not think that Camu would show up to vote at all.
