The Name Game: Obama, Hillary, McCain

Person 1: Barack Obama is Michael Dukakis, he is a latte drinking liberal who is out of touch with the average American, who can't hold a handle to his opponents! He is WEAK on law and order, look at his record in Chicago, he is weak on crime.

Person 2: No, no, no, Barack Obama is Jimmy Carter! He is going to be weak when it comes to foreign policy, he is incompetent. He will be overwhelmed, and our enemies will take advantage of our weakness!

Person 3: Experience! Ha! Abraham Lincoln had hardly any experience, and what did he do....hmmmm...let me see, SAVE THE UNION! Obama is like Lincoln!

Person 4: Come on now, let's be real. Obama is George McGovern. He is the most liberal senator and is out of touch with the majority of Americans. Just wait for another landslide Republican win.

Person 5: Hillary Clinton is Richard Nixon. I mean, she is paranoid, tried to destroy her enemies and can't quit. Her personality bleeds Nixon, and let no one forget it!

Person 6: Nixon? No way. Hillary Clinton is exactly like her husband, Bill Clinton. All the drama we had in the 90's will come back to life, Whitewater anyone? We don't need another 4 years (possibility 8) of Clinton.

Person 7: John McCain is George W. Bush. Voting for him is voting for a Bush third term. He has the same aggressive foreign policy approach, the cowboy persona, which got us into Iraq. McSame! McSame!

Person 8: Not Bush, but Dole! Just look at his age! Bob Dole was at the same age McCain is now back in 96, and campaign finance problems, Dole all over again! He was also thought of as a maverick and straight shooter. Just wait, another downfall like that of Dole is waiting to happen!

Person 9: McCain is like Bush, yet the first Bush, number 41, Bush senior. The economy is looking bad, and McCain is going to sink.

Person 10: Wait a minute here. Barack Obama is Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton is Hillary Clinton. John McCain is John McCain. Each is his or her own person. These comparisons simply don't work.

Persons 1-9 in response to Person 10: Shut up!

The general election is going to be so much fun.
