Obama is without doubt Captain James Tiberius Kirk; the YOUTHFUL and charismatic brash young officer (mind you he is the youngest Captain in Starfleet)

Biden is the thoughtful and less charismatic Captain Christopher Pike

McCain is without doubt the out of control and UNSTABLE Captain Tracy from
”The Omega Glory” ( he who DOES NOT RECOGNIZE The Pledge of Allegiance and then the Preamble to The Constitution when he hears it, since the words have lost their meaning hand are nothing more than giberish ie: E plagneesta uctum flagen … ) It takes Kirk to sift through the jumble and use his brains and figure it out.

Palin is nothing more than a Green Orion slavegirl
