I do not see Hillary in a Volvo...now or ever! She's in a 2-door Ferrari Castrata. Barack has two little girls, and so I'm thinking four door. I think he's confident enough in his abilities to not yet need a midlife crisis mobile. John McCain doesn't drive, probably, given his Hanoi injuries, but if he did drive, he'd be in Prius with a Ford tag on it. Mitt Romney would drive the BMW, because he's got a teensie weensie itsy bitsy, uh, sense of self, and needs to cover with a lot of Powerpoints, hair gel, business plans and suits. He's the kind of guy who doesn't know how to dress casually on the weekends. Rudy would be in a tank. Like Dukakis, but Rudy looks good in a tank. But tanks are...what, you say? Slow moving, ineffective in modern street warfare, great for military suppliers, perpetuating of the Eisenhower military industrial complex... Nice idea, but impossibly subjective.
