Vice-Presidential Anagrams

Every presidential candidate knows that the most important aspect of a potential running mate is how their names anagram. Here’s my analysis of the possibilities..

Obama/Biden
I think it was a good choice, as the anagram “Babe Domain” is a clear win. Who wouldn’t want to be in the babe domain? This ticket sends a clear message to voters and makes the McCain campaign’s babe deficit even more glaring.

Obama/Clinton
Despite being dubbed the “dream ticket”, an anagram of “Noncombat Ali” would have spelled electoral disaster (not literally). This anagram is a clear allusion to Muhammad Ali’s conscientious objection to the Vietnam War and would have played right into John McCain’s hands!

Obama/Edwards
I don’t think Edwards was on the short list, and it’s a good thing! Coming into November with an anagram “A Madras Bowed” is a terrible plan. After fighting rumors that Obama is a Muslim for so long, the last thing the campaign needs to do is suggest that he is bowing to some other authority while wearing a turban.

McCain/Romney
Clearly they hate each other, so watching them campaign would be really entertaining. With the anagram “My Cinema Corn” the country won’t be able to resist kicking back, grabbing some popcorn, and watching them bicker.

McCain/Lieberman
It’s going to be hard to get the Republicans to trust the vice presidency to someone outside of their big tent, and the anagram won’t help. “Canine Lamb Crime” is obviously a reference to the phrase “wolf in sheep’s clothing”, signaling that Lieberman is just working as a mole for the Democratic Party and has nefarious things planning for his tenure.

McCain/Huckabee
The best part of Mike Huckabee’s campaign was the endorsement by Chuck Norris, and the good news for McCain is that the endorsement would continue if Huckabee is chosen. The anagram “A Chuck Ambience” will bring Norris’ ass-kicking persona to the campaign to a degree unprecedented in modern American politics. Plus, that ambience will scare the crap out of terrorists.

(you can feel the ambience already!)
