Horse Race
Okay, this one's been bugging me for awhile, I'll sneak it in here as well:
I'm tired of hearing that we "can't switch horses in the middle of a race." This line of thinking is so contrary to our ideals and our chosen form of government. The logical conclusion of this is that in four years from now, after Bush has served for eight years as U.S. President and of course still fighting the so-called "War on Terror" (and probably still fighting militants in Iraq or any other country we decided to invade in the next four years), we should repeal the 22nd Amendment to ensure that we keep betting on the same horse. Sound crazy? Of course it does...

It isn't the middle of the race - it's a new race. You DEFINITELY switch horses for a new race if the old horse isn't running so well. You'd be a fool not to.

I dunno, I just think the whole analogy breaks down, and isn't helpful at all in this scenario. (It only ever serves to support the incumbent, but solely for the virtue of being the incumbent.)
