Yesterday I presented a strong case for Obama choosing Optimus Prime as his running mate.  I posted a poll with several options, and while Prime did indeed dominate the poll, he didn't receive the obligatory 51% necessary to win outright.  So tonight we will have a runoff between Prime and our second place candidates, a tie between Homer Simpson and Papa Smurf.

I'll present pros and cons for all three after the fold.

Everyone has been throwing out potential VP picks, so I decided to join in the fun.  In my opinion the most important qualities in a Vice President are leadership, adaptability, and a kick ass laser rifle.  After carefully evaluating myriad candidates I have narrowed the field down to the only one who meets all of the above qualifications: Optimus Prime.

Please follow me through the jump where I will explain just exactly what makes Optimus Prime the best choice for Vice President.
