America Has Chosen It's Strongest Leader

I've shook hands with both, and Obama is much skinnier and shorter in-person than you would suspect (I still doubt he's 6'1 and feel like he's 5'11, maybe 6'). Romney has a more masculine build, is probably about 6'2 or 6'2.5, and I suspect would clock Obama in a fist fight.

As for this poll, I'd suggest doing it again after the debates to see what happens.

Fun fact after doing a quick search on Romney's reported height (6'2):

"Since 1789, the taller candidates have triumphed in 58 percent of U.S. presidential elections, and what’s more, they’ve won the popular vote 67 percent of the time. There’s even a term for this phenomenon: “the Presidential height index.”"

Disturbing.

Okay I know this thread was just supposed to be dumb fun... and your post certainly fulfilled the first part, but would you really bet on a pensioner vs a guy almost fifteen years his junior who works out?  Did you see that picture of Romney ducking the Vietnam war in France?

Romney has better genetics (e.g., Obama's parents died relatively young) and a healthier lifestyle (e.g., Obama only recently quit smoking), so I think it makes up for the age differential. If we're doing dumb fun where he contemplate a boxing tournament of the presidents, obviously we'd have to consider the hypothetical tournament being of the men in their prime (late 20s/early 30s).

Yes, Romney would knock-out Schwartzenegger, because, you know, he's perfect in every sense.

America needs a President who can create jobs, Romney, not a President, Obama, who smoked pot, drinks beer, and wants the nation to believe he's Mr. Tough Guy.

America needs a human being, not a robot.
