It will be Edwards versus Huckabee 500 days from now.\u00a0 Forget political correctness, it\u2019s statistical.<\/p>\n
First, the problems with the Democrats. \u00a0Hillary Rodham Clinton is female. \u00a0Which means it is statistically impossible for her to be president.\u00a0 Barack Obama is half black, which immediately cuts his chances to 50%.\u00a0 Furthermore, if elected, he would be the fourth-youngest president.\u00a0 Most troubling, both his father AND step-father are Muslim. Game over.\u00a0 Al Gore is a big star, probably too big.\u00a0 With a body mass index well over 30, he\u2019d be the largest president since Taft.\u00a0 Won\u2019t happen without a diet.<\/p>\n
Among Republicans, Mitt Romney cannot win, he\u2019s Mormon. \u00a0Newt Gingrich is out; no amphibian has ever been elected chief executive. \u00a0Rudy Giuliani has all sorts of problems: forget about the divorces and liberal views, he is Italian, Catholic and, worst of all, from New York City.\u00a0 John McCain is perfect.\u00a0 Episcopal (#1 Statistically), Male (#1), White (#1) with the added bonus of being the war-hero son and grandson of admirals.\u00a0 But, if elected, he would be the oldest president ever, and the fourth shortest. \u00a0Fred Thompson has a celebrity \u201cQ-score\u201d through the roof. \u00a0He\u2019s a law and order candidate AND plays one on TV. \u00a0At 6 foot 6 he\u2019d be our tallest president (good) but at age 66 he\u2019d be our third oldest (bad). \u00a0Giuliani, McCain and Thompson are also bald, a notorious candidate-killer. \u00a0Tommy Thompson and George Pataki are Catholics.<\/p>\n
Which leaves Mike Huckabee for the Republicans. \u00a0A 52-year old white male Baptist.\u00a0 Nice.\u00a0 From Bill Clinton\u2019s hometown of Hope, Arkansas, which works oddly in his favor with Democrats but against him with Republicans.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll be up against John Edwards for the Democrats. \u00a0He is White (#1), Male (#1), Methodist (#3), will be 55 years old (#1), 5\u2019 11\u201d (#2) with added bonuses for high hair and low BMI. \u00a0\u00a0And Edwards will win in a landslide:\u00a0 \u201cPresident Huckabee\u201d would be, statistically speaking, the #1 silliest moniker in history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It will be Edwards versus Huckabee 500 days from now.\u00a0 Forget political correctness, it\u2019s statistical.
