If you were stuck in a prison camp with all 9 candidates, who would you choose to lead the escape?

[Bicoastal]

Note: this may or may not have something to do with the fact that I saw "Rescue Dawn" this afternoon.

[Solly Mack]

1. I love this question!

[More Than A Feeling]

2. I concur. Great question!

[Xipe Totec]

3. It depends

on whether the escape would succeed or fail...


:hide:

[MrSlayer]

4. Myself of course.

They'd be too busy bickering and plotting against each other and taking polls to see if we even should escape at all to get anything done.

[More Than A Feeling]

5. Edwards and Hillary would end up leading rival escape attempts.

But both would end up making it in the end. I'd go with Edwards.

[kenny blankenship]

7. Some of them couldn't help triangulating against you to curry favor with the camp commandant

So best to keep your plans private.

[Richard Steele]

14. My thoughts exactly.

Escape plan? What escape plan?

[markk]

6. ok who said kucinich?

he'd be too busy trying to tell them about peace and to stop torturing him.

[BringEmOn]

19. What's wrong with peace?

Did you miss your right turn at that other site?

[ruggerson]

8. It's very scary that four people voted for Kucinich

n/t

[silverojo]

17. Scarier still that Gore's even in this poll

Hello, he's not even a candidate! :rofl:

[Bicoastal]

9. Richardson might be able to bargain his way out....

...but then again, Hillary might be in a position to seduce a guard, then brain him and steal his uniform. Happens all the time in the movies...

But in the end, I chose Obama for no other reason than he seems the most physicaly fit. Maybe you guys will be more imaginative....

[Lilith Velkor]

10. AFAIK I'm the only one who has experience with that sort of thing

I doubt that any of them would listen to me (except maybe Gravel) so I'd probably screw on my onesies.

[Forkboy]

11. I prefer to wait until William Holden or Steve McQueen enter the race before answering.

[Demeter]

12. And I Wouldn't Take Any of Them With Me, Either!

Social Darwinism in the red of tooth and claw.

[JVS]

13. Do we have the votes to escape?

[slackmaster]

15. Everybody on his or her own

I'm not letting any of those duffers slow me down.

[cobalt1999]

16. tough question.

Hillary would get us out, but it would be a big long expensive escape a la "the great escape" with tunnels, pulleys, and electric lights - too long.

Kucinich would have us all sitting in a circle going ohmm, ohmmm with the idea we could "self-levitate out" - not practical.

Edward would try to get the whole camp to bond together and rush the gate; the "some will get shot, but they can't kill us all" approach - too dangerous.

Obama doesn't have any experience with escapes - can't trust him with my life.

I'd have to do it myself.

[Zywiec]

18. Very creative question

It sure gets you thinking.

[seasat]

20. Kucinich, He's tiny enough to fit through a small hole in the wall.

He could then come back with tools to help get the rest of us out.

[razors edge]

21. Gravel obviously,

he can keep his mouth shut. Biden would brag about being picked to the nearest guard.

[Swamp Rat]

22. I would turn them all in to win favor with the OverLords.

More Soylent Green please.

[blues90]

23. I'll find my own way out , thank you very much

[annabanana]

24. Gravel. . . . n/t
