If you were an average Republican--

[hyphenate]

and thank goodness you're not!--which would you be most inclined to vote for?

Mind you, I'm describing candidates as the average Repub might think of them.


A southern baptist minister?
A slick, corporate Mormon?
The former mayor of the 2nd largest US city, with scurrilous ties and spin on just about everything?
A former actor?
A liberatarian?
A Vietnam vet presidential wannabee?
Whoever the Dems throw at you?

1. A former actor!

Tell me Ronald Reagan is behind that door ;-)

Seriously though, Fred was a politician/ politico long before he went into acting. The man was Nixon's helper to "investigate" watergate

5. Makes him even worse, I say

when you consider the legacy Nixon left behind, eh? :)

[Historic NY]

2. None of the Above I heard he was more popular.

3. OT, but ever see Brewsters Millions?

Monty Brewster (Richard Pryor) ran "None of the Above" for NY mayor, and won over the R and D candidates, who actually were both taking money from the same corporate backers (he wasn't running himself, only trying to force a re-election untouched by special interests). If you haven't seen it, it's quite funny.

4. Well

you could also call him a slick, corporate Moron. HAHA
