As long as we are discussing dumb arguments and psycho-analyzing candidates, we might as well have the superhero test. Entertainment Weekly interviewed each of the candidates:

Mccain

[ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY](http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20217335_2,00.html): If you could be any superhero, which one would you be?

JOHN McCAIN: Batman. He does justice sometimes against insurmountable odds. And he doesn’t make his good works known to a lot of people, so a lot of people think he’s just a rich playboy.



OK… well let’s see what that out-of-touch elitist Barack Obama would say…

Obama

[Last question, and the fate of the Republic hangs on your answer:](http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20217406_2,00.html) If you could be any superhero, which superhero would you be?

I was always into the Spider-Man/Batman model. The guys who have too many powers, like Superman, that always made me think they weren’t really earning their superhero status. It’s a little too easy. Whereas Spider-Man and Batman, they have some inner turmoil. They get knocked around a little bit.



Mmm. OK. Either way we get Batman for president. Except Obama, with his moral relativism and straddling of issues and utter lack of body fat might also be Spiderman.

How should we decide, then, which would be best?

Let’s ask McCain:

[Who is your favorite TV or movie president?](http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20217335_2,00.html)

President David Palmer [Dennis Haysbert] on 24. He’s fabulous. He’s a guy who makes tough decisions, he takes charge, he’s ready to sacrifice his interest on behalf of the interest of the country…

Um, not to put you on the spot — but on 24, Palmer was the first African-American president…

You know, I hope that I and all Americans can be color-blind about any president.



uh ??? ok. good idea. Let’s pick the black guy because he’s tough, he’ll take charge, and we can show that we can all be color-blind! People think he’s just a shallow celebrity, but he can do justice against insurmountable odds!
