Not my favorite newspaper comic, but did read it all the time growing up.

John McCain
I think McCain went years ago, but I can't prove it. I thought about picking him but you and someone else already had him, I think he is an obvious choice. I think he has to much on his mind to be making the kind of decisions about our government that he is tasked with making.

I think his mind was already gone when he ran in 2008. The fix was in, but he gave whoever was pulling the strings their money's worth.

I thought if they were over 90
it doesn't count because you
could just list people in their
90's and always a few of them
will kick that year.. Both Mel
Brooks and Carl Reiner are in
their 90's now. So is Doris Day.

Why shouldn't it count? The scoring rules are
