Observation from India: "The GI Joe-Barbie ticket"

It's not uncommon that a young boy's first shaky steps are accompanied by a GI Joe figurine, teaching Junior the ins and outs of war.

And for young girls, who better to serve as role model than scantily-clad Barbie? To be sure, little Sally absolutely MUST learn how to walk in six inch heels.

Thing is, toddlers don't vote. And we all put away those toys by the time we reach middle school because GI Joe and Barbie aren't real. Women don't all look like Barbie and not all men are suited for endless, mindless combat.

But, evidently, the Republican Party missed the memo. How else can you explain them trotting out a ticket comprised of a real life GI Joe and Barbie and expecting Americans to take the bait?

1. Anti-Christ Barbie

2. More like the GI-Geriatric/ Wannabe Barbie ticket.

3. Silly person

Americans "take the bait" almost every time.

The "baitors" have a ridiculously easy time hooking the "baitees"
