How to play:
1. Choose either candidate. No "other" or "none of the above" votes. If you're unhappy with both candidates, then choose the one you perceive as the lesser of two evils.
2. Explain why (optional).
3. Propose a new pair of candidates for subsequent posters. Feel free to keep the candidate you chose in #1 as one of the two, if you like.
The game will be more interesting if you propose two candidates with similar backgrounds or ideological views, so there might be diversity in who chooses whom.
I'll start.
1. Choose your president: Condoleezza Rice or Colin Powell.

For Americans, Goldwater or Dole.
For Brits, David Davis or George Osborne.
For Christians, John Paul or Benedict.
For Russians (or more realistically, anyone who feels like it), Putin or Medvedev.

Originally posted by wittywonkaYou mean like every general election I vote in? Is it that kind of tough, gut wrinching, agonizing decision that makes you feel as though you can't win?
To whodey and ATY: the whole point of the game is to force you to make tough choices and allow others a chance to gain insight about you or your choices in the process.
Gotcha!!
Ok, I chose Colin Powell, only because I think he objected to the Iraqi war.
Originally posted by FMFThat's easy, Ross Perot. If nothing else, for entertainment value. I just love it when he gets those graphs out that are larger than him to show America just how skrewed they really are. Then when he gets a lead in the polls he drops out as if he were Bobby Fisher and then comes back to run again.
~~ Colin Powell
Choose: Ross Perot or Ralph Nader
I love crazy Ross!!

Originally posted by whodeyAll right, whodey, you're doing better... Now propose your own election.

Regarding your earlier post, think of it this way: you get to list your #1 and #2 ideal choices for president. Let others see what they think.

Originally posted by FMFI'm not as familiar with Bradley, but after a few minutes reading up on him, I don't see many domestic policy differences from Kerry. With that said, Kerry seems to have more foreign policy experience. So, if I had to decide in under 10 minutes, I'd probably choose Kerry.
Choose: John Kerry or Bill Bradley
Choose: John McCain or Mitt Romney
Originally posted by wittywonkaI've been personally impressed by a disproportionately large number of the Mormons I've met, and I think he might be a politician who would have a go at tackling the crisis in the U.S. health system (possibly in the first two years of his second term after priming the country for it during his first), so Mitt Romney would probably get my vote.

Originally posted by FMFI personally enjoyed norm macdonald's bob dole impression very much. If voting for him means I can see more of that, then I say Bob dole.
