Hillary and Your Car

Mike Huckabee explains why Barack Obama has the edge over Hillary Clinton:

The American people are not looking for someone who can fix a carburetor. They’re looking for someone who can drive the car.

True enough. But I can’t think of something scarier than Clinton repairing my carburetor, given what she did with healthcare in Bill’s first term. Would you let her near your car?

PS: Maybe it takes a village to repair a carburetor.

Update: Soumya Banerji writes in:

Most cars on the road in the US don’t use carburetors.
