Hillary Clinton is an intelligent, well-prepared and experienced candidate.  In a single word, Clinton has competence.

If Clinton were a car, she’d probably be a Volvo stationwagon: solid, reliable and there to get the job done, not make you fall in love.

If Clinton were a technology company, she’d be Microsoft – dominant and all business.

Finally, Clinton may very well be the New York Yankees of the political world – great pitching, hits for power and has an excellent pedigree.

John Edwards is compassionate and likeable. Edwards is a Prius – comfortable headroom and good for the world.

While Edwards embodies a bit of the personal connection Obama’s Apple afficianados have with their machines, Edwards is more like a Blackberry: always there, always keeping you in touch.

Picking a baseball team for Edwards is tough, but maybe it's the pre-2004 Boston Red Sox – a bit of hard luck story with a lot of nostalgic appeal.

Barack Obama is Mr. Personality.  Voters find him interesting, likable and, well, exciting.

If Clinton is a stationwagon, Obama is probably a BMW Z4 convertible, sporty, flashy and fun.

He’s Apple to Hillary’s Microsoft.

Obama is the Chicago Cubs – intriguing and beloved by the casual fan, but without many championships to show for it.
