According to a USA TodayGallup poll released Monday, as many as 85 percent of Americans strongly wish to see Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain race through a gauntlet of comically ludicrous hazards and encumbrances sometime before Nov. 4. 'Voters want to know how Obama's poise compares with McCain's experience, specifically when racing to pick the flag out of a giant foam nose,' political analyst and Gallup pollster Brian Garfield said. 'It has been a grueling nominating season, and now the American people want to see the candidates prove their mettle in a gigantic syrup moat. If they react the wrong way under pressuresay, on some sort of gravy slide or human-size hamster wheelthe results could be hilarious.' At press time, neither candidate had comment, as they were both being zipped into sumo suits.
