Comments on How to Pick a Presidential Candidate

McCain certainly scores the "awwwwwwwww" vote. For me it's the turtles that clinched it. Too bad he's got all those credibility issues - I would *love* to see a turtle in the White House.

Hmmm, maybe I need to reconsider Joe Biden.

I'll have to go Richardson all the way.

For those who like McCain better now, he declaws his cats, which means he likes his furniture better than his pets.

Barack gets my vote then.

But what about Gore?

I have a cat named Hillary Clinton

my dog is named Seamus. that's no endorsement of HRC.

however, no politician should have a dog - they're not around enough to be the alpha & pick up the shit in the yard.

in fact, no politician does. their staffers have a dog.

Obama is the only realist in the bunch.

Two dogs, two cats, and a fish?

Wonder if Brownback's preparing his ark for the flood.

Tancredo had a chihuaha, but, well, you know.

That settles it. Obama gets my vote.

Or Giuliani. Or Tancredo. Guess I'm a single-issue voter after all.

I want to see McCain and Giuliani get in a fight about owning ferrets.

I'm so behind the times: What happened to SOCKS?

One factor has been sociologically proven to subconsciously influence the general public on which candidate they support: image.

Not even credibility image, but visual image. Likeability. LOOKS. Which candidate seems more down to Earth, appears more likeable?

Even if he's a warmongering, power-mad asshole, Dubya has always appared to the public, in appearance, like a more down to earth and likeable individual than the blue bloods Kerry and Gore. Ditto Bill Clinton, more than Bob Dole and Bush Sr.

So putting aside your personal lefty prejudices, who among the candidates seems like a guy everyone in American would like or at least find reasonably pleasant if he/she were seen on the street?

Tancredo shot his dog for climbing over the fence.

@ 12 Obama. Handsome chap.

mccain named his turtles after rocky's turtles, which he uses to seduce adrian. that's a bit unoriginal and spooky/slimey.

Socks was adopted by Bill Clinton's secretary Betty Currie.

How many stupid ways can we come up with to choose who gets to be president? At least this is better then voting for the one you want to have a beer with.

I was hoping one of them would say, "well, I've got a couple of Hispanic teenage girls chained to the wall of my basement, a wall of blood that must never be allowed to dry".

Richardson gets a boost for naming his cat "Squeaky." Aww. Did it make little squeaky noises when it was a kitten?

Pets schmets.
What I want to know is: Do they compost?!?

Here's one time I'm sorry Bill Frist isn't
in the race...

Why does Rep. Duncan Hunter have a dog named Hunter? Isn't that incestuous?

17. Most voters don't do all that much research, if any at all besides watching the news. These are subconscious factors.

Subconscious factors?

You mean like the height bias?

how the hell did this asinine thread get more than 20 comments?!? educated voters, my ass.

Clearly, Obama and Giuliani hate freedom.

Are we electing a President/Savior of the Union, or a dog-catcher?

I LOVE that Kucinich points out that his pets are pound rescues. Just when I thought I couldn't love him more...

everyone knows that black people hate animals. and water too.
