He's grandfatherly looking and he can teach my kids survival skills in case they ever get captured by terrorist.

Besides, Obama would try that diplomacy crap with my kids. Have you ever tried reasoning with a small child?

McCain is old. Old people tend to have cool stories of what it was like back in the war days. Hahaha. I'd like my kids to be interested in history.

I would never knowingly leave my children with someone who associates with terrorists - therefore, McCain wins!

McCain would at least be willing to say, "No!" to a child. Obama would be a diplomatic idiot even when it fails.

He would teach my kid how to survive. It would be like having Cotton Hill watch my kid. Plus, my kid could say he meet a real American hero!

MCCAIN!

Although I have no kids

Obama with his big ears would scare my kids away!

McCain can be kind, sweet, endearing, and can come down to a child's level

Obama is orderly, distant, and all in all strange...

McCain might take them to get an ice cream cone

while Obama teaches them in depth sex ed!!!!

Geez, Obama running a day care!

insanity!

McCain. I know if someone tries to kidnap my kid, McCain will be ripping that motherfucker's head off.

Obama will try to talk to the guy and then try to negotiate with him over the phone... pay a ransom while the kidnapper rapes my kid.

o yes, no one died, but i have a fucked up kid for life... thanks Obama.

McCain!

I'm kinda Independent, but this one goes to McCain!!!!

He is inviting and kind...

He's true and trustworthy...

mccain because obama may put them on a suicide bombing mission lol muslim bastard.

This ones easy. With Obama I don't have to worry about him dying before I get home. Who knows what kinda trouble my kid would get into with no supervision and the corpse of an old white guy in my living room.

Obama seems like a more family man than McCain. Yes, McCain has six or seven children, however if you watch them with their families, pictures can not lie. Obama seems as though he would have more of a positive influence on my child, and seems very down-to-earth. He has a lot to teach and share, and my children can relate to him much more than McCain. He seems to care and I would definately trust my children with him more than with McCain.

He seems like a pretty decent guy. McCain has poor character judgment in people, so I don't know what kind of friends of his he would let around my kid. Also Obama probably has some good stories.

John McCain, may pass out, or die on the job leaving my kids alone.

McCain's about as grandfatherly as a Kodiak is cuddly. He's angry because becoming President would trump Daddy's and Granddaddy's Admiral in the Navy status, but they're not around to use their clout to get him the job. His judgment is obviously flawed as evidenced by his choice for V.P. and then there's the obvious risk of him having a heart attack and falling on the poor kid.

Obama is young enough to chase after them!

I'd totally leave my kids with Obama! They could play with his kids and his dog on all the big lawns of the White House. Hell, I wish I could go play with his kids and his dog on all the big lawns of the White House, and then have his wife bring me some iced tea and cookies.

Obama would instill ideas of hope, and independence into my children. McCain on the other hand would probably scare them by saying they were in danger from terrorists when in reality you are more likely to be killed by lightening in the U.S. then by a terrorist.

(Plus who do you think would be better at reading a children's book)

Obama, no questions. He's cool, he can dance- as evidenced on the Ellen show, and he has a nice smile. McCain seems cranky, off center, and picked for his running mate someone who shoots wolves from planes. I just get this image of a little kid running down the street in one of those bursts of kid energy, and seeing McCain and Palin giving chase in a helicopter, shooting tranquilizer darts at the little guy. Yikes!

If my child climbs a tree how will McCain reach up to get him down? He cannot lift his hands above his head.

Sure, it might sound bad, but I'm answering the question accurately.

are you kidding me mccain is way to old. my child would have a ball with the obama's

So, if the kids get left with Cindy McCain, you have to think, would I leave my little darlin's with a drug addict? I could say, "recovering" addict, but there's no real evidence that she's in recovery. And there is no such thing as a "former" addict.

And, you know, she kinda lies, too. But you decide.

Obama wouldn't try to convert my kids.

Good ol' Joe. Diplomacy crap??? God forbid a diplomatic diplomat! So you've admitted that Obama is diplomatic and would reason with your child, and that you do not want that. So what would McCain do that you would prefer?

I think that Obama would actually enjoy my child. I think he generally enjoys people. I agree that he would be diplomatic, and that's exactly what I would expect. I also think he'd be stern if need be. I think my kid would come home happy and enlightened in some way, shape or form. Most of all I think he would engage with my child.

Although McCain looks "grandfatherly", I think he could only deal so long. He seems very much like stuffy old guys I see at the country club. I really don't think he'd want to hang out with a kid too much. I think he'd be friendly & smile but I don't think he'd be fully engaged. Cindy would probably end up with the job.

Now if some Muslim was tryin to take off with my kid, or tryin to seal my Nascar memorabilia, or break into my trailor - your damn straight I'd want John McCain to be right there. He would really kick their mutherfuckin asses. As long as they were geriatric Muslims. But you know them Muslims, even the old ones are terrorists.

That would be Barack Obama! I think he would be fun to be with for the day! Shoot a few hoops on his shoulders, play some games, roast some doggies and burgers, etc. He's got two little girls and they sure look as though they love their daddy. Then there's always Michelle. She must know how to entertain kids and it seems she loves children. Yes, Obama, without a doubt.

It's about age....Obama is young enough to be McCain's son ...and has 2 young children of his own....McCain has alot of health problems...too old to run after a kid....

Obama, except on Halloween. In the spirit of the season I'd tell them he was a ghost, he wouldn't need a sheet, just sit around naked with his pasty skin.

Of course his cancer spots may at any moment sprout legs and try to eat my kids.

I don't have kids, but I heard you're supposed to keep stuff on high shelves so they can't get into it. It would be funny to watch McCain try to reach the Cream 'O' Corn for half an hour on the nanny cam though.

Obama, because I would only want to change one pair of diapers when I got home.

I would be afraid McCain would give his dentures a break and eat all the baby food...

I heard Hansel and Gretel didn't get lost in the woods but are being held captive in McCain's Jowels. Maybe that could be a bedtime story for them. - meh, that one's a little week, I'll stop there.
