Game of Thrones: Which claimant do you support?

[Martinus]

My opposition to Stannis is based on the fact that he is a religious fanatic who views ruling in terms of some bizarre morality play. Joffrey may be a psychopathic monster, but I would much more like to see the realm ruled by some other Lannister (Tywin, for example) than by Stannis.

BS he is not a religious fanatic.  His wife is though.

[Grey Fox]

They all seem a poor choice.

There is no one left to be a proper ruler. The Populace must Rise!

[Viking]

[spoiler]Jon Targaryen[/spoiler] true heir to the Iron Throne

Pffft.  The true heir is [spoiler]Aegon VI Targaryen[/spoiler]

But since we did not know that yet I was in Dany's camp at the beginning of season III.

Pfft!! That [spoiler]Mummers Dragon[/spoiler] is a dyed [spoiler]Griffon[/spoiler] in disguise! Remember the [spoiler]House of the Undying[/spoiler] and the [spoiler]prophecy with the mummers dragon[/spoiler] in the [spoiler]house of the undying[/spoiler]!

[Grinning_Colossus]

He isn't [spoiler]Jon Connington's son[/spoiler]. He's actually a [spoiler]secret Blackfyre pretender[/spoiler].

Anyway, I support the mannis.

[Martinus]

I love how Stannis and Danny seem to be tied for the most part of this poll, and they outrank everybody else by a mile.

[The Minsky Moment]

I support the institution of an anarcho-syndicalist commune, in which each inhabitant takes turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but with all decisions of that officer to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.

[MadImmortalMan]

Joffrey's losing because he's the one the audience knows for a fact has no claim.

we think... the only thing we do know is that he is[spoiler]Connington's adopted son[/spoiler]

[garbon]

Joffrey's losing because he's the one the audience knows for a fact has no claim.

I would guess that it is because he's insufferable. If say he was benevolent, I don't see why there wouldn't be viewers supporting him, despite the fact that he has no real claim.

That said, yeah given the options, I'm not sure why Marti "loves" the current results.

Well what about the other part in the [spoiler]House of the Undying?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]"Aegon," he said to a woman nursing a newborn babe in a great wooden bed. "What better name for a king?"

"Will you make a song for him?" the woman asked.

"He has a song," the man replied. "He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire." He looked up when he said it and his eyes met Dany, and it seemed as if he saw her standing there beyond the door. "There must be one more," he said, though whether he was speaking to her or the woman in bed she could not say. "The dragon has three heads."[/spoiler]

The second one being [spoiler]Dany[/spoiler] and the third being...well...

[Admiral Yi]

In the books, do they give much back story on the decision-making regarding giving the throne to Fat Boy after he kills Insane Dude, vs. handing it off to Whiny Blond Dickhead?

He didn't kill insane dude, Jaime did.  And yes it was mentioned.  They decided to give it to him on the basis that the Baratheons had a blood claim, though I think somebody pointed out that was just a legalism really because Robert was the leader of the rebels.

[Solmyr]

Jaime also cannot rule anything since he's a Kingsguard.

No, the first two were [spoiler]Rhaegar's children, Rhaenys and Aegon[/spoiler]. What he wanted was a third [spoiler]child[/spoiler], and that [spoiler]child[/spoiler] was [spoiler]Jon Snow[/spoiler].
