Who do you think the voters like more, Bugs Bunny over Daffy Duck?  This article says the winner in the presidential election is the same as in the cartoon: always the wiley Bugs.

Daffy Duck, by contrast, is ever at war with a hostile world. He fumes, he clenches his fists, his eyes bulge, and his entire body tenses with fury. His response to bad news is a sibilant sneer (”Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin!”). Daffy is constantly frustrated, sometimes by outside forces, sometimes by his own overwrought response to them. In one classic duel with Bugs, the two try to persuade Elmer Fudd to shoot the other-until Daffy, tricked by Bugs’ wordplay, screams, “Shoot me now!”

In other words, the winner will almost always be the one who looks more cool-headed, more collected, more confident, maybe even more cocksure.  Bugs isn’t afraid to fight, but he uses wit and strategy far more than rants and fits of indignation.  This is why Ron Paul and Howard Dean, while they may have said good things, would never get elected.  They’re too Daffy. 

The article says Obama is the Bugs and Hillary’s the Daffy, but I think McCain’s got them beat on being the Bugs.  I’d love to hear your disagreements, though.
