The great unasked question of the 2008 Presidential race ...

[zbdent]

(since it was SOOOOOOOOOO important in 1992, 1996, and 2000)

Which Presidential candidate on either side bakes the best chocolate chip cookies?

Remember, you had (anti-family, anti-traditional) Hillary Clinton squared off against (grammy) Barbara Bush in 1992 - because the Republicans couldn't stand the idea that a mother could actually have a career outside the kitchen ...

Then, you had (anti-family, anti-traditional) Hillary Clinton squared off against (faithful wife) Elizabeth Dole ... but it wasn't as big of an issue, because the Republican candidate hadn't baked cookies for the "grandkids" ...

And then, in 2000, Tipper Gore had to make chocolate chip cookies, but Laura Bush didn't make chocolate chip cookies because her husband didn't like the ... so she made "ginger snap" cookies ...

2004, we were "too busy ducking terror alerts" to be concerned about cookies ...

So now that Hillary Clinton is running, will the rest of the candidates be treated with the same "litmus test"?

I think they do this every Presidential election cycle for some unknown reason.
