Perhaps a good response would be to compare the candidates in a different, more Old Testament key: Able vs McCAIN.

As usual, I think Fred is right on in regard to these things. And thanks for the careful wording of what PMDs are.

@Dennis: That’s clever, but Cain ends up winning that contest, if by “winning” you mean “last one standing”.
