Judging Joe

According to you, readers, Barack Obama's an iPhone, while John McCain is a phonograph, and Sarah Palin is a Hello Kitty assault rifle.

Now, in the final installment of our presidential-race-related Friday Poll, our thoughts turn to Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, Obama's running mate. With so much attention on the other three candidates, it was a little hard to come up with our choices. Luckily, Biden's been around a long time, which gave us some good material to work with.

If none of our poll options quite hit the spot, be sure to suggest your own in our Talkback section below.

He's most like a rotary phone. Goes 'round and 'round, makes clicking sounds, and is totally outdated and an antique.

And I could have been a Democrat ;)

A Zune.
A Zune with no battery and a scratched screen.
Oh, and a video of a guy in a wheelchair trying to stand...
