At least the Stooges offered a viable choice...Moe was a typical Republican, kinda harsh and willing to pick up arms to further his cause,while Larry was a typical Democrat- he was kind, didn't like confrontation, easygoing- and Curly is a combonation of every fringe candidate out there- Ron Paul, Ralph Nader- guys who are all over the map.
Personally I'd rather vote for any one of the three before I could vote for Hillary (if there has ever been a more disingenious person on this planet I've not met them) or McCain (usually they get senile after they serve a term, not before.)
For all the talk about diversity among the canditates we'll have less a choice this election because by the time the general election gets here the Dems will be parroting the same things the Repugs do.
