There are some nice examples out there of buildings that are perfect cubes. So I'm not thinking of something like the Watercube in Bejing, but of buildings in which height, width and length are identical.
Who has a nice example of such a building? To kick this off:
The Sanaa Zollverein school of design in Essen, Germany
i can't find any good pictures that i can link to online, but the ncnb tower (aka bank of america tower, aka the beer can) in tampa has two perfect cubes as the base building...
there are a few pix on the architect's website... harry wolf

Crap. I misread your comment...I thought it said people who *would* vote for Obama. Whoops.
Much funnier that way.
