Driving Into The Presidency

A opinion piece in The Detroit News questions what Presidential wannabes are driving and also if they practice what they preach.

So, here are the results:

The Republicans:

Mike Huckabee drives a Chevrolet Silverado truck while his family’s main car is a 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Just FYI, those two SUV’s are also the biggest SUV’s on the planet.

John McCain’s wife drives a Lexus while his daughter owns a Prius hybrid. He drives a Cadillac.

Mitt Romney drives Ford Mustang convertible and a big Chevy pickup, while his wife drives a Cadillac crossover vehicle.

Ron Paul drives a Buick in DC, a secondhand Lincoln and Ford truck in Texas.

Rudy Giuliani does not own a car.

The Democrats:

Barack Obama owns a 340 HP Chrysler 300C. However, when his choice was made known to the public, he bought a more PC hybrid.

John Edwards drives a hybrid as well, but he was apparently caught driving a bigger SUV a while ago. He also own Chrysler Pacifica.

Hillary Clinton drives a fashionable Mercury Mariner hybrid, which by the way does not score all that well on mileage counts.

So, maybe candidates driving choices don’t say much about their values on the environment. But, maybe they do, just a little bit. You decide.
Driving Into The Presidency

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to watch the New Hampshire debates. I feel that every one should vote and that every vote counts. Choose the "lesser of the evils" during this time. How many times did you count the word, "change" that was said by the candidates-mostly by the Democrats:-)
