Candidates a little silly in smackdown
It is definitely one of the more unusual venues for the presidential hopefuls to make their pitches: World Wrestling Entertainment's "Monday Night Raw."
And in trying to attract voters who happen to be wrasslin fans, the candidates come off tonight looking a little, well, silly.
Hillary Clinton, telling fans to call her "Hill-Rod," says: "This election is starting to feel a lot like King of the Ring. The only difference? The last man standing may just be a woman."
Barack Obama gives his spiel about special interests and lobbyists, but then borrows the signature line from former WWE champion Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "Do you smell what Barack is cooking?" Obama asks with a grin.
John McCain says that it appears the two Democrats want to settle their battle in the ring. "That's fine with me," he says in his videotaped message.
Then he warns both of them that they're toast in November.
"Let me tell you, If you want to be the man you have to beat the man," McCain says. "Whatcha gonna do when John McCain and all his McCainiacs run wild on ya?"



Obama is our Savior. After watching “typical white people” grill Obama during the debate, I realized that Obama, Ayers, and Reverend Wright are Right, God D*** america. Now is the time to rally around Barak and Michelle and make them proud! These poor bitter rural white folk with their guns and phony religion who are afraid of people not like themsleves should not be allowed to vote. Yes, no more so called elections where typical white people vote! And news flash america, Barak is right, your typical white american is a racist! Obama will apologize to our Muslim brothers for arrogant american policies of hate and slavery. Only Obama can forgive an evil nation founded on slavery. White people, no more gun purchases, save your money cause reparations are comin! Obama 08!!!
I'm really concerned this is -- supposedly about Hillary's most personal views. This needs stop or her reputation may be seriously tarnished:

John McCain (71) will be dead in November from campaign fatigue.
This epitomizes America's "in-direct democracy".
Purely Symbolic.
Sorry, but McCain is no Hulk Hogan.
Hill Rod can ride my Hillrod
May the good Lord have mercy on us all.
