The Steel Cage

OK, so it's a bit hack. But humor me.

In breaking down the main event of this year's WrestleMania XXIV, I couldn't help but notice the similarities to another three-contestant battle going on right now

Like Randy Orton, both of John McCain's opponents have their eyes set on him. He's a bit stuffy - a throw back of sorts, not unlike the Legend Killer. He's a scrappy fighter who has overcome various physical ailments over the years to make it to the top. And also like Orton, he's constantly dealing with naysayers because of his age.

Then you have Hillary Clinton, who like Triple H, earned a lot of her political power by marrying the right person. For Triple H, it was WWE chairman Vince McMahon's daughter, Stephanie. For Hillary, it was former President Bill Clinton. Like the Game, Hillary is the consumate politician - having made calculated moves over the years to get herself ahead, and earning plenty of critics along the way.

And then you have the young, hip, and flashy contender - Barack Obama, who like John Cena, has helped revitalize his arena by attracting a young following. The women swoon over him. The young guys think he's the coolest. But those who have been following the game for a long time wonder if he's much more than a flash in the pan.

So the question is, who would win?

I can see it now, Obama stuns McCain with the FU, and Hillary quickly follows up with her patented Pedigree. McCain appears to be finished, and both Democrats are bickering over who should get the pinfall.

But wait! What's this? A masked man runs down the aisle and knocks both Obama and Hillary out with a 100% biodegradable foreign object. The intruder unmasks and is revealed to be - Ralph Nader!

Nader rolls McCain over both his fallen adversaries, and the GOP candidate gets the pin.

Hey, it's got to make more sense than the electoral college.
