Barack Vs. Hillary Vs. McCain (Vs. Nader?)

When I can't make up my mind about something important I make a list of pros and cons. If it's time to buy milk, and I don't know what milk to pick, I'll look at the milk and say, "Hmm, the 2% milk is on sale so that's a pro, but oh, it's expired, so that's a con." Unless you want to make cheese, in which case the expired milk is a pro.

Anyway, I figure that politics and picking people to be President can work the same way.

Barack Obama
PROS: Against the Iraq War, Inspiring, kind of like a Democratic Ronald Reagan, strong civil rights record
CONS: ... KIND OF LIKE A DEMOCRATIC RONALD REAGAN



Hillary Clinton
PROS: Technocrat, detailed, has a kind of gravitas if not very personable, Chelsea Clinton's Mom
CONS: comes with Bill Clinton, VOTED FOR IRAQ WAR


Ralph Nader
PROS: Strong populist streak, helped make seatbelts a standard item in American cars.
CONS: Still uses a typerwriter (which is just as bad as Bush not reading the newspaper), no green party support, NUTCASE



John McCain
PROS: Steady, strong leadership, penchant for bipartisan thinking and action, has accomplished legislation including finance reform
CONS: IS A FUCKING NUT JOB STILL IN FAVOR OF IRAQ WAR


John McClane
PROS: Really kicked ass in all those Die Hard Movies, knows how to kick the crap out of eurotrash, WALKED ON GLASS WITH BARE FEET! Could possibly destroy all terrorists on his own.
CONS: Reginald Veljohnson not available for vice-presidential spot


This list turned out to not be very helpful. I do need milk though!
