Right track/wrong track

If candidates were trains, what kind of trains would they be?

Thanks to alert reader CW for passing along this answer in the form of a photographic tribute:

(BTW, neither CW nor Gleaner know who to credit for this -- probably some Kossack or something -- but if someone knows please to inform, gracias).

Love the train analogy.

Sales for Thomas the Train are now going to plummet. Poor Thomas. Maybe Mattel will come out with Sarah the Steamroller by Christmas? Oh wait, by Christmas Sarah will be forgotten.

What a joke she is.

1 Highly subsidized transit that can't stay afloat on its own.
2 Highly regulated transit...a system that called for regulation on it self to increase its own profits at the expense of consumers
3 Old school transit that somehow still pollutes less than the trucking industry which put it out of business (thanks to subsidized publich highways), but still failed because it sold out asking to be regulated itself.
4 A child's toy that can be bought, unsubsidized, in the private market.

I'll take neither, I like my own car.

Daily Kos has used that a number of times, but I don't know who originated it.

Patrick: Ok, we get it: You're a Ron Paul supporter. Now give it a *&%@* rest, please.
I happen to like trains, but that does not make me a socialist.

"I think I can, I think I can..." says the old McCain train that could, and if he succeeds---yeah, just wait...all of a sudden two years into the presidency, the old clunker falls off the tracks.....what will we have to stand in his place, a tonka toy.
