Klingons for Kerry

This is certainly good news for Kerry, but I understand that the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk still plans to endorse President Bush in November:
Klingons for Kerry
EXCLUSIVE: Straw-poll shocker! Fierce warrior race strongly backs Democrat.
Even as John Kerry struggles to establish national-security credentials nationally, an exclusive WW straw poll shows his campaign dominating one skeptical, warlike demographic: Klingons.
The poll, conducted when the DVD release of the Star Trek fan documentary Trekkies 2 attracted Portland’s Klingon community to Tower Records on Southeast 102nd Avenue, may spell trouble for President George W. Bush. The incumbent has staked his campaign on the war on terror. But those who speak the language of the Trek warrior race — known to disdain dishonor, or quvHa’ghach — seem alienated by Iraq and other issues.
According to the poll of eight local Klingons, a whopping 75 percent support the Democratic nominee.
Two Klingons polled — or 25 percent — said they planned to write in Satan.
Bush scored an abysmal zero percent in the poll.
“A good war is based on honor, not deception,” says K’tok (Earth name: Clyde Lewis), a 40-year-old Klingon from Lair Hill. “The first warrior, President Bush, deceived us all with this war.”
