That's right: Men. So which of these ladies do men see as more of a role model? Watch the short videos below, then vote.

We'll start with Michelle...

John McCain canceled on David Letterman at the last minute yesterday, ostensibly so he could rush down to D.C. and save the economy. Only it turned out he didn't rush down to D.C., but in fact sat down with Katie Couric for an interview. (And when he did eventually get to D.C., he didn't do much to help. According to Democrats, he actually tanked the whole process.) Letterman's rage is palpable in these first few minutes of his show.

Filed under: John McCain


Katie Couric seemed shocked by how little Sarah Palin knew about her own running mate in her one-on-one interview. Two examples: Palin didn't know the McCain campaign manager was still getting money from Freddie Mac, and she couldn't name one thing McCain had done for financial oversight in twenty-six years. And Couric asked her twice. Awkward!

The Republican Party has created an economy so terrible that America nearly entered the second Great Depression.
