Last night, the three remaining presidential candidates appeared on the World Wrestling Entertainment’s Monday Night Raw. In an effort to court wrestling fans, each adopted a wrestling persona as they read off Teleprompters™.
“Hil-Rod” gave the best promo, as they’re called in the trade. She was the most natural as she read her part, with a playful look in her eyes and smile on her face. She seemed to take genuine pleasure in this break from her usual no-holds-barred campaign style.
The big loser? Our favorite intellectual elitist, “BaRock.” He was stiff and his eyes never moved off the Teleprompter. It’s very clear he was reading and from this side of the screen, I could read on his forehead, “When is this over?”
John McCain appeared to connect best with the fans. He too clearly enjoyed this change of pace, and put some oomph into his presentation. He called upon all the “McCainiacs to get out and vote.”
I can’t say if any of this will make a difference, but one thing is clear. Whoever wins will lay the Smackdown on the opponent.
