« Live, from the Brazilian Tropicana Steakhouse | Main | Obama ad: Clinton says anything, changes nothing »
by Frank James
The presidential candidates talk the talk when it comes to vowing to end America's addiction to oil but do they walk the walk or, better yet, drive the drive when it comes to their personal choices in the vehicles?
The answer appears mixed but there definitely is a tendency among them for bigger, gas guzzlers, as this photo gallery indicates.

Where's the Murano? Oh, sorry, that's Johnny Propane's ride.
McCain has the best taste in cars, he just needs to upgrade to the new hybrid model.

Funny, the psychotic Sybil, John E. er dt, focuses on my car. The Murano gets me around 21 around town and about 25 on the open highway. But thanks for your concern, Sybil, er John E.

What I saw in the photos
1. Huckabee - He needs that big rig to haul around his huntin' gear.
2. Mitt - I thought red convertibles Mustangs were chick cars.
3. McCain - Old men cars are part of the problem.
4. Paul - Frugal - keeps every dollar on his auto purchase he can but not at the gas pump. Part of the problem too.
5. Rudy - We are thankful he doesn't drive...look where his drive to the presidency is right now.
6. Obama - the 300 a classy man's car but drives the other one to be PC.
7. Edwards - Trying to do the right thing but guys just like those big SUV engines!
8. Clinton - Does anyone think anyone in this family really drives?

None of the above. He has to borrow his Mom's Caravan.

Math Whiz,
Do any of the canidates ride a Schwin Stingray with the Banana Seat and Pokemon cards stuck in the spokes (usually it would be baseball cards, but that's just not you.)
