Crucial general election issue:
Height!!!

Obama: 6'2". Looks smart and tall. People naturally look up to him, figuratively and literally. Looks like someone who when you both were in your 20s you want to know where he's going tonight. You want to be at a party where Barack is.

McCain: not that tall. In fact he's SHORT. 5'7" to 5'9". Wow. Kinda looks like someone who caught you trying to sneak girls in through the window in high school. You wonder if he has short man's complex. Obama needs to stand next to him so we see how really short McCain is!

Let's look at some comparisons:

Abraham Lincoln : 6'4" NICE
Thomas Jefferson: 6'2" NICE
Bill Clinton: 6'2" Decent
George Washington 6'2" NICE
John F Kennedy 6'1" NICE



George W Bush 5'10 1/2" WOOPS
Richard Nixon 5'10" HAHA
Calvin Coolidge 5'10" SUCKED
Andrew Johnson 5'10" BAD

John McCain 5'7" SHORT
John McCain (with platforms) 5'11" STILL WAY SHORTER THAN OBAMA

Hillary Clinton 5'6" ALMOST AS TALL AS JOHNNY AS A FEMALE
HIllary Clinton (with heels) 5'9" TOWERS OVER MCCAIN
Martin Van Buren 5'6" SHORT
James Madison 5'4" NEVER WOULD'VE BEEN ELECTED LAST 100 years


I think we all can see where this is going - Obama is tall, bad ass, smart
McCain is short, feeble, has short man's complex.

Remember, as quoted from Caddyshack "How do you measure yourself against other golfers, Ty?" "By height."

2. Bush is taller... or so I thought.
But you are correct... you don't get elected these days if you aren't over 6'.

3. Wait until Barack stands next to McCain
Can you believe how short McCain is? I looked at 4 different sources on the internet, and 3 of them said 5'7". One of them, imdb.com said 5'9". Of course imdb.com routinely exaggerates actors' heights (tom cruise 5'9"? Really about 5'6". Sylvester Stallone 5'9"? really 5'7"). So amazingly I think 5'7" may be the number.

This will be worth a million votes, I kid your not. What a gift that McCain is 2 inches shorter than the average American male while Obama is 4-5 inches taller. I LOVE IT.
