Is Hillary the HD DVD of this election?

I like analogies. I like them a lot. Those of you who have seen me comment around the ’Vine over the last couple years have probably seen me make my own fair share of analogies when discussing complex issues. A well-crafted analogy is a way to increase the contrast on the image, to pick out the edges that might otherwise be hidden in subtle shadows. Few areas are as ripe for analogies, as in need of clear contrasts, as those involving complex choices: like partisan politics. Is there any question that lends itself to such glib answers in the face of such profound realities? Given the vast number of areas over which the president has direct or indirect influence, how, exactly, is a voter reasonably to make an informed choice? Enter the analogy.
