Who are Camus and Voltaire voting for?

I think that Voltaire would be voting for Barack Obama because he expects the democrats to bring more change than the republicans, when having to choose between the two major parties. However, I think that Voltaire would not completely agree with either the democrats or the republicans because he is very adamant about his opinions. I think that Voltaire would most likely go for the libertarians or another third party candidate that agreed with all of his opinions or instead form his own party. I think that Voltaire would not just consider himself limited to the two major political parties but would instead look at the other options.
            I think that Camus wouldn’t vote at all. I think that his outlook on life would shape the ideal that voting is essentially unnecessary seeing as how it won’t change anything. I think that Camus is more concerned about living life in a seemingly unnoticed manner. I think that he would not bother himself with the worries of who will be running our country but he would instead wonder why we consider ourselves a democracy when we choose one leader. Camus would not bother himself with the petty social norms of everyday life and simply go on with his life.
