The three presidential candidates have each recorded a stilted video for tonight's episode of Raw, the WWE show that attracts 5 million viewers a week. In the segments, intended to promote voter participation, the candidates do some grandstanding with goofball quotes, including Clinton referring to herself as "Hillrod," the AP reports.
Some highlights:
- Clinton: "This election is starting to feel a lot like 'King of the Ring.' The only difference? The last man standing may just be a woman."
- Obama: "I've got one question: Do you smell what Barack is cooking?"
- McCain: "Whatcha gonna do when John McCain and all his McCainiacs run wild on you?"
