John McCain vs. Hilary Clinton

Oregon's own elections are being held in November but the big show comes in 2008 when the donkeys and the elephants square off to see who will be next in line to destroy this country or perhaps raise a sunk ship. It's not too early to say that all eyes are going to be on Senator John McCain from Arizona and Senator Hilary Clinton from New York. It will be another presidential election just perfect for the media. You know that they are already researching some headline grabbing dirt on both of these potential candidates.

Another thing that John McCain has going for him is name recognition and I don't mean his own. His name bears a striking similarity to the character that Bruce Willis played in the Die Hard movies, and that is John McClane. Think about it. Detective John McClane has first hand experience in dealing with and defeating terrorists and he does it with a bit of humor even. With Senator McCain running the country under the guise of Detective McClane we could finally get a grip on this war on terror.

Hilary Clinton doesn't have an existing movie character with a similar name but I have always envisioned her as a more mature Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods from the Legally Blonde movies. Elle Woods was on path to become what Hilary Clinton already is, a savvy political monster and by embracing the character of Elle, Hilary could soften up her image a bit and gain some new supporters across the country.

So there you have it. My look into the possible lineup for the 2008 Presidential elections.
