Here they choose the man who will win the election. Three canidates have their sights set on the nomination. One aims to open the White House doors to the nation's criminal refuse.

Can the Watchmen hunt down the villains, or will garbage rule the world’s greatest nation?

"He won't be a problem" or something was all we hear of his fate. Perhaps he was teleported to another place with a memory wipe? Or perhaps placed into a new body and he gradually re-discovers his memory. Mr. Moore, let's get on it! ;) I can’t say for the film version, but off the top of my head there are several threads in the comic that could be continued into interesting stories:

1) Moore’s ending implies the publication of Rorschach’s journal which undoes all of the “unify the world work”

2) Ozy on the run from angry government that seeks retribution after his scheme was revealed.

3) Dr. Manhattan creating an alien race that then comes to earth (time-travel maybe?)

4) Rorschach was zapped by Manhattan, but we never see a body. “He won’t be a problem” or something was all we hear of his fate. Perhaps he was teleported to another place with a memory wipe? Or perhaps placed into a new body and he gradually re-discovers his memory.

Mr. Moore, let’s get on it! ;)
