Electoral Knife Fight

[Elok]

Three of them in the ring. Each one has a knife of the kind we give to Navy SEALs. Outside interference absolutely forbidden and prevented. Winner takes the White House. Who wins?

Some considerations:

McCain is the only one with military training, and we know he's got guts and a good deal of tolerance for pain. However, he's also the oldest of the three by a few decades.

Obama is the youngest and appears to be in good shape. He may be hampered by his good-natured attitude, but then again that could be used to manipulate others.

Clinton seems (to me) to want the presidency worse than either of the others. However, as a woman she naturally has lower strength and possibly stamina than her rivals.

Clinton and Obama maim each other leaving McCain to swoop in and pick off the victor before he or she can recover.

Hillary. She has the knife fight experience (or so she claims).

Obama. Black people are experts at stabbing people and they make good shanks in prison. But then again, if McCain had a Vietnam flashback he could probably kill with a toothpick. Clinton would be first to die as her womanly instincts would get her killed.

Sounds about right

[Asher]

McCain is at a serious disadvantage in a knife fight due to his arms.

[DinoDoc]

That's the reason he's hoping one of his oponents cripples the other.

Hillary claims she can dodge sniper rounds which are a lot faster than swooping knives, and her big, fake smile would have a Medusa effect on the 2 men so I'd put my money on her.

Besides, he'll just duct tape it to his shoes.

If you can't add anything intelligent to the conversation, then go sit at the children's table.

I doubt very much this thread has any potential for an intelligent discussion.

Isn't Obama a smoker? If so, then he will get winded easily enough.

I don't know man... I wouldn't necessarily count out McCain. He has the instinct, he's old but with that adrenaline kick and fight for survival? I think that's the one that settles it and McCain is most likely to have it. I don't think his age will be the biggest factor here. I pick McCain in huge adrenaline rush.

[Riesstiu IV]

I agree. Don't rule him out just because he's old and requires naps throughout the day. Imagine how many Vietcong he killed using his own shoe strings whilst escaping out of prison camp. The man is an unstoppable killing machine. McCain Could easily take 'em both out.
