Evan Bayh? Joe Biden? Who cares! Which fictional character would make the best running mate for Obama? The list of "real" people is getting pretty boring, so kill some time while waiting for your bff 2 txt u hs runng mt lolz!
Conventional Wisdom suggests that Obama is looking for three things in a vice president- foreign policy chops, a counterweight to his thin resume, and a philosophical soul mate. Movies, books and cartoons offer a lot of possibilities. What's the best way to break down the choices? Why brackets, of course!
Who will win out? Superman or Gandalf? Will that Monopoly dude buy his way to victory? Or will Mr. Smith make it to Washington one more time?
Guandalf vs. Jefferson Smith
This is a real tossup --
on one hand you have the war hero foreign policy expert whose age could
become a liability; on the other hand an idealistic man-of-the-people
who proved himself tough enough to take on the special interests and
win. Smith is also young, dynamic, and photogenic, important features
in today's image-driven coverage. But it's a near certainty that the
GOP will try to make this election about national security, and despite
his age, Gandalf would bring much-needed heft to the ticket and help
reassure voters that Obama will keep them safe. Winner: Gandalf!
