Obama vs. McCain: The Great Presidential Pop-Culture Debate
Spider-Man or Batman? Jeff Bridges or Dennis Haysbert? ABBA or Javanese flute music? Candidates Barack Obama and John McCain stated their positions on these and other world-shaking pop cultural issues in exclusive interviews with Entertainment Weekly. Whose finger do you want on the button? (Of the remote control, we mean.)

You can vote for who has the better choices.

In the magazine article itself, which I read at the local pizza place across town earlier today, the answers are longer.

The only thing I remember reading that wasn't included on the website linked above is that Obama likes Jeff Bridges as the POTUS in the Contender because he thinks the way he orders sandwiches is cool, and he looks forward to testing out the real White House kitchen staff.

1. McCain is sooooo lame

2. His favorite fictional president is Dennis Haysbert from 24

The interviewer said something about how Haysbert's character was also the first black president, and McCain said something like "I hope we can all be color blind", a pretty standard answer, but it definitely put him on the spot. It was a pretty good read.

3. He also said he liked the Wire

I just wonder what he liked about it.

who was his favorite character? Who does he identify with most?

McNulty? Rawls? Bunk? Freaman? Omar? D'angelo?, what about Snoop?

Which politician did he like better, Carcetti or Clay Davis?

the Wire deserves much more than "I liked it" or "I didn't like it"

season 5 is out on DVD as of two days ago.

4. The Wire is worth every second of your time to watch....I loved the entire package.
