Greetings and Salutations Y'all,

Things have been pretty hectic here in Mayberry with the elections and all. But, earlier today I found a couple of free minutes and hit the 'ol national internet.

Since I have been literally glued to my television for the past several days (not necessarily due to all the election coverage, but because I was trying to superglue the UHF knob back on), I have been pretty excited about the elections and just about everything "presidential."

In between checking election updates and ordering funky socks from Amazon.com for all my closest friends and a few other gifts from the Holiday Gift Guide that recently appeared on OCW (Christmas is coming you know...and I am checking my list twice already!) I ran across a great article that takes a look at WDPD (What Do Presidents Drive!).

Their Top-Ten list includes the personal cars of our nation's leaders from JFK to good ol' Ronald Reagan.

As I prepared to head out to the local polling place today, I have to admit that I was seriously weighing the fact that John McCain's first car was a '58 'Vette, while Obama was forced to drive his grandfather's Granada...maybe this is why he is so intent on spreading the wealth...Heck, if I was stuck cruising the streets of Chicago in a Granada as a youngster I too would feel like I had been short changed. As a result of the psychological scars he may have received from having to drive a Granada, maybe instesad of offering subsidised health care we can all convince Obama to Subsidise the 'ol collector car market if he is elected...A chicken in every pot and a Hemi' in every garage!

Now that I think of it, it seems kind of strange that they failed to mention the 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 that Ted Kennedy was driving back in 1969...
