Texas Governor Rick Perry recently endorsed Rudy Guliani for the 2008 US Presidential Election. The governor, however, likened his endorsement to buying a pickup truck - all the selections had at least one thing that he didn't like.
Craig Malisow of HoustonPress disagreed - he has better suggestions of what vehicle each presidential candidate is most like. For example:
Ron Paul: Batmobile. Batshit crazy. The best thing is, if Paul wins, his V.P. can be a Robin-like character. You know, a useless little man-child in tights.
See if you agree with 14 of candidate-car pairings! Link - Thanks Keith Plocek!
Clinton is more like a hyundai...always following the public trends to be likeable.
Obama? More like a Fiero. New, exciting at the time, but ultimately fell on the grounds that there were other exotic cars that have been developed over decades
Edwards? Like a John Deer Combine. Looks like it represents the working class, but most of the working class can't afford it.
Romney is more like Thompson's sports car. Looks great until you realize that your in the hole for a few years paying off something you didn't need to begin with.
McCain's Hummer is pretty accurate I guess. I would say he's more like a Jeep, applying the same analogy, however.
Thompson is definitely not a sports car, but then what I don't know.
but seriously though, why does Neatorama need to slander Ron Paul??
Oh, spot on, Tom! Although he did get a $9 hair cut last time to make up for the $400 one ...
@eyes and dave p: Lighten up! Ron Paul isn't batshit crazy but his supporters often are. The HoustonPress article made fun of *all* presidential candidates, not just Ron "Batmobile" Paul. ;)
