Candidates in a Box

The Times has published another interesting op-art piece, creating a literal scorecard for the presidential candidates and judging them on things like intelectual capacity, external appearance, temperament, etc.

It's a futile exercise, of course, but still pretty amusing. Tom Tancredo, the fringe candidate running mostly on an anti-immigrant platform does not come off very well (intellectual resources= slender). Some of the other appraisals are more subtle but just as funny.

The inspiration for this, an 1823 British magazine. Take a look at the full thing over at the Times. Then let's start talking issues.
