Kid Change Vs. The Cryptkeeper
Obama’s completion of the perfect ten in a row, all by substantial margins, makes it increasingly likely that we will see a great nation defining matchup of Kid Change vs. The Cryptkeeper. In one corner we see the youthful energetic hope mongering of Obama surrounded by a multi-cultural multi-generational crew and in the other corner the grim fear mongering of McCain flanked by even older and whiter men (if that’s possible).
Ladies and Gentleman this is the kind of match you would gladly pay money for and thanks to the digital age we all have a ringside seat via cable/satellite tv and the internets.
Let’s take a quick look at the comparison of the two fighters:
