George Washington, Colin Powell and Bill Clinton Tied in Poll!

If Jesus Christ and God can be heroes, I'll put in my vote for Prometheus. He brought fire to mankind, after all, and paid a hideous price for it. How Sarah Palin could be anybody's hero is beyond me. Wouldn't a minimum requirement be that the person have done something heroic?
