No, no. Just Obama. McCain isn't a pussy. He kills shit. Obama, however, does not.

But McCain should saw off his own balls. That would be hard as nails.

50% of the country will vote for McCain just because they think McCain would do that...

Yeah, even with the age difference, my money would be on McCain for that fight.

Sadly, I'd have to agree.

There's a difference between being stronger and faster - and knowing how to kill.

For some reason I find the visual of McCain putting out a cigarette on his tongue hugely entertaining. I'd probably vote for him if he did that on TV, and announced Steve-O as his running mate right after.

Oh, and @1: Didn't the GOP saw off McCain's balls a few years back?

If McCain sawed off his own balls, I'd vote for him just on principle.

Wait a minute. I thought McCain couldn't lift his arms like a normal person because of Vietnam? Does he still go hunting? Can he even lift a gun high enough and hold it steady enough to shoot it accurately? I bet Cindy has to get on top. Okay, that thought just made me throw up in my mouth.

isn't chopping off your balls a form of birth control? aren't the republicans generally against that? i don't think that would solidify his conservative base.

Big Oops! I don't know why I have guns on the mind. It was knives. My previous comment still applies though, I don't think he could throw one accurately and as for running, well? That thought is funny as hell.

Wasn't Ice-T in this movie?

@4:

You'd be surprised how quickly one can learn to kill, when given sufficient incentive - such as staying alive, for example.

In this scenario, I'll take strong, fast & able to learn over old & slow & already learned any day of the week.

And advice to Obama: remember, go in through the back of the skull, at the base with an upward thrust, then wiggle the knife like you're shucking an oyster - instant kill.

@8 - you don't need to lift your arms above your chest to hamstring someone enough to finish the job.

But this would make a great video game ...

@12 - the main thing is surprise, really. This is where McCain will have the advantage.

90 percent of combat is surprise, the other 10 percent is burying the dead.

@13
Were not just talking stronger and faster here. Were talking older and younger, physically able and physically impaired, and most strikingly, mentally competent and sharp and mentally gone.

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on my knife.

@15 - well, disinhibition and anger are signs of dementia and Alzheimer's ... but I still would give McCain odds, even if he is decrepit.

@17: Wait, are we doing odds now? I've got to figure Obama as an underdog due to his lack of combat experience, hand to hand, so I figure you are giving at least 3-1 on Obama bets, right? I want some of that action.

disinhibition...not to nitpick too much, but is this even a word, or an elaborate typo?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Some nitpick, some google.
