He's bound to have some undocumented immigrants working for him that would actually know how to unstick the elevator and save the day, rather than the brainless muscle (and chauffeur) talent that rudi employs. btw, that would eliminate tancredo since he would shoot the undocumented good samaritans before they started work.  mccain's stories have all been heard before so he's boring. thompson would just nap in the corner, so he's boring too. I've got a feeling dr. paul is claustrophobic and I couldn't handle the screaming. huck would spend all his time praying fruitlessly for rescue.  hunter would try to get out using the Terminator 2 method of shooting an automatic weapon randomly at the top of the elevator to make big enough holes to crawl through.
