A Poll (of sorts)

In this country we have, over a period of time, established a criteria that candidates for high office must meet to be elected. I am going to propose two imaginary candidates for President of the United States - Pick one and give the reasoning behind your choice.

Candidate A : From California - is married and has three children - he is third generation politician (his father and grandfather were both governors).

My name is Charles Evan Johnston III. I am proud to say that I am an attorney and a graduate of Harvard. I am married to the former Cheney Alexander (of the New York Alexanders). I have three children. Charles IV, Henry Alexander and Alexandria. They are all attending private boarding schools. I have never used alcohol, tobacco, or any drug other than that prescribed in cases of rare illnesses. I have no skeletons in my closet. I have never been in any type of trouble in my life, I am honest and totally trustworthy. I have never had sex with anyone other than my wife and can assure you that my wife can say the same about me. We are a deeply religious family and I base most of my decisions on the teachings of my religion. I am not indebted to anyone for the political success I have achieved and when I am elected will pick no one for appointed position based upon anything but their qualifications.

Candidate B: From Virginia - is married and has two children by his current wife and one by his first wife. He has served one term as Secretary of Commerce - prior to that he was CEO of the XYZ Corporation.

Hi, I'm Bill Smith, I live in Richmond and have a lovely wife, Charlene and two boys, Billy and Jerry. I have a daughter, Chrissy, by my first wife. I graduated from VMI with a 2.8 GPA. I didn't do as well in school as I could have because I really liked to party when I was younger. I got into a little trouble when I was in school but nothing out of the ordinary. I drink occasinally - a glass of wine or beer with dinner and a cocktail or two when we are out . I started my business with a loan from my first father-in-law and went through some lean years before I finally got him paid off. I didn't want to be in politics - it is not something I asked for but the current presdient had a real problem and I had experience in working with that problem. I have been asked to run for president by a large number of associates. Many of them have put their money where thier mouth is because I could never have afforded to run on my own. If I am elected they are going to expect positions in government. I have been involved with a number of women in my life and possibly could become involved with one again under the right circumstance. This is who I am, this is what I am. I will do what I feel is best for my country , I do not lie, I do what I say I will do and you can take that to the bank. Thanks

OK! Which one, and why?
